About Julie
Julie Gregory-Bateman uses a mix of talking therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She offers a calm, down-to-earth space where someone can speak at their own pace and work on practical changes. Julie's style is warm and non-judgemental and she encourages people to set the pace and focus of each session.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape feelings now. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and test out different ways of responding.
How Julie works
Trauma-focused approaches are available for people who want to address past abuse or painful memories directly. Julie has four years of clinical experience and holds a BACP membership. She also holds postgraduate qualifications in integrative counselling and psychotherapy, and further training in cognitive behavioural work and dementia support.
Those qualifications inform how she blends practical tools with reflective conversations. Her background in business management gives her experience of organisational pressures and complex decision-making. She says this helps her understand stress linked to work, money and life transitions.
Julie can also support people dealing with ageing and end-of-life concerns, isolation, communication or commitment issues, and the emotional aftermath of illness. Sessions are offered in English and are provided online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Julie uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This approach can help people understand loneliness, trust issues and repeating relationship difficulties. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that suit those aims. That collaborative process allows approaches to be adjusted over time if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging lets people check in between sessions or have shorter focused conversations. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and different energy levels.
