About Julia
Julia Garnham is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also helps those struggling with self-esteem and major life changes.
Julia uses an adaptable approach that draws on several methods to fit each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation. She may use mindfulness exercises, mindful breathing, or gentle hypnotherapy techniques when helpful.
How Julia works
Her work pays attention to attachment and how early relationships affect current feelings and behaviour. This can be useful when someone faces abandonment fears, commitment worries or attachment issues. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking.
Julia also supports people coping with relationship breakdowns, family problems and the emotional fallout from domestic violence or separation. She helps people manage guilt, shame and forgiveness, and works with specific concerns such as body image, dissociation, or control issues. Sessions combine talking, reflective exercises and practical coping strategies.
Clients may be offered creative tasks like journalling to help process emotions. Julia aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship and help people find clearer ways to move forward.

How Julia’s approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses and trust. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective tasks to identify attachment patterns and build new ways of relating to oneself and others.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours. In video or chat sessions this can mean setting small behavioural experiments, doing thought records together, and reviewing results in follow-up meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through simple practices like breathing and body awareness. These exercises are easy to guide over a call or in messaging, and they help with stress, anxiety and emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques suit personal needs and preferences.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, journalling tasks and quick coping strategies between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
