About Julie
Julie McAulay helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or low mood. She supports people struggling with self-esteem, guilt and shame, panic attacks, seasonal low mood and social anxiety. Julie also works with those facing major life changes and the fallout that can bring.
Julie sees people as experts in their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical, helping clients name what feels difficult and try small steps that can make a difference.
How Julie works
Julie aims to make the first approach feel manageable and respectful of each person’s pace. Julie has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. Her background includes helping people work through grief and loss and finding ways to cope when day-to-day life feels heavier.
She draws on evidence-based techniques to guide conversations and actions rather than using jargon. Sessions focus on setting clear, realistic goals and trying out simple strategies between meetings. Julie encourages practical experiments that help people test what works for them.
Progress is tracked in easy terms so clients can see change over time. People who choose Julie can expect a calm, direct approach that values their perspective. She supports people to build confidence, reduce panic and find steadier footing after loss or change.
The aim is to leave sessions with one or two clear next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy works
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve coping. One common approach focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking and acting to lower anxiety and depressive symptoms. Another method emphasises gradual exposure to feared situations so panic, phobia or social anxiety become easier to manage over time.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie works with each person to identify priorities, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. She explains methods plainly and checks in about what feels useful and what does not.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video makes it easy to have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
