About Julie

Julie James helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She supports those facing grief, low self-esteem, ADHD challenges and major life changes. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making the first step feel manageable.

Julie uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Humanistic Person-Centred counselling. She has also studied Transactional Analysis to better understand how people relate to others. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building confidence for everyday situations.

02

How Julie works

Her style is calm and respectful. She aims to be honest and understanding while helping people find what works for them. Conversations are used to spot unhelpful thinking and to try small, realistic changes between sessions.

With three years of experience, Julie has supported people through bereavement and loss as well as panic attacks and ongoing worry. She also helps those struggling with loneliness, communication problems and questions about life purpose and self-love. Appointments combine listening with straightforward tools.

She adapts methods to each person rather than applying a single formula. The goal is to leave people better able to cope and make choices that feel right for them.

Approaches and online therapy options

Julie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Humanistic Person-Centred counselling in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and panic. Humanistic Person-Centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and supporting people to find their own solutions and build self-worth.

She also brings ideas from Transactional Analysis to help understand patterns in relationships and communication. That can make it easier to spot repeated ways of relating that cause isolation or conflict. Selecting the right mix of methods is part of the work together; the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt the approach as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations, while phone sessions can be useful when a call is needed without video. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions or times when typing feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and fit it around work, family life and other commitments.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
