About Julie
Julie Durmush is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach at the heart of her work. She aims to be warm, compassionate and non-judgemental while sitting alongside people as they talk through difficult feelings. Julie holds NCPS, the National Counselling Society registration, and brings six years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom.
Julie adapts her method to each person she meets. She blends client-centred work with evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused methods.
How Julie works
Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client and finding manageable steps forward. Her practice covers common concerns such as stress, anxiety and low mood, along with relationship difficulties, grief and trauma. She also supports people facing identity and self-esteem issues, ADHD-related struggles, and challenges linked to gender dysphoria and the LGBT experience.
Julie has worked with people affected by workplace and childhood trauma, and has experience with PTSD, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, personality-related difficulties and loss. She also uses brief options, such as single sessions that use the wheel of life, to help clients gain clarity and priorities. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual.
Julie listens closely and offers practical strategies alongside reflective, empathic conversation. Her aim is to help people notice small changes that build greater balance and well-being over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and on building a trusting relationship. It helps when someone needs empathy, clarity and a space to work out feelings at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical skills for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. It is useful when someone wants concrete tools to try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that fit. The decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses to make sure it stays useful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messages suit people who prefer writing, need more frequent brief contact, or who want therapy that fits around a busy schedule.
