About Me​

"As a counsellor, I'm fascinated by the human condition and the power of individual stories. I offer a safe, experienced, and steady hand to guide you.

 

My personal journey, including navigating intense periods of anxiety and uncertainty, has shaped my approach. I found my way forward through a dedication to art, philosophy, and the continuous practice of self-awareness. Now, I use this lived experience in my career, providing therapeutic and mindful counselling to help others find their own path to growth."

My experience has been working with both adolescents, adults and couples exploring a myriad of complex life challenges such as:

AnxietyDepression, Couples Issues, Relationship and Family DifficultiesDivorceHealth IssuesBereavementLife transitions and Feeling Stuck.

With the right support and help, I believe that change is possible. I have found that trust in the counselling relationship is the foundation for confidence to build within ourselves to make our own choices and feel empowered and autonomous in our lives. I am committed to professional and personal growth through regular supervision, personal reflection and continued professional development.

How I Work

I use a person centred approach, meaning that the sessions are steered by you, bespoke to you.  I draw from a range of theories making my practice eclectic. I also have a keen interest in using creative options and tools when appropriate, allowing plenty of room for clients to express themselves.

As a member of the BACP I am guided by and work within their Ethical Framework.

TESTIMONIALS

"Of the mental health professionals I have worked with in recent years, Julia has made me feel the most comfortable. She has helped me to understand my anxiety and negative thought patterns, building greater resilience, self-esteem and confidence in my own abilities and decisions. I am in a far stronger position to face challenges than I would have been without our sessions."
