About Julie-Ann

Julie-Ann Huggins is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience. She offers a warm, interactive approach where people can talk openly about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to help people find clearer direction and more enjoyment in life.

Her style is conversational and solution-focused. She uses counselling and coaching ideas to help people discover meaning and purpose. Conversations look at how a person affects their environment and the people around them, and practical steps to change what isn’t working.

Julie-Ann works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports people facing relationship issues, addiction, career strain, parenting pressures and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, ADHD, chronic health challenges and body image worries.

Therapy draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. Techniques from cognitive behavioural work, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas are mixed with client-centred and dialectical perspectives. The goal is to create a bespoke plan that fits a person’s life rather than a one-size-fits-all method.

People who come seeking practical change and clearer coping strategies may find this style helpful. The emphasis is on building understanding, improving communication and finding workable routines that support lasting change.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to commit to actions that match their values. It can help when worry, avoidance or low motivation make life feel limited.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and uses simple strategies to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships influence current ways of relating and feeling close to others. This can be helpful for relationship strain, intimacy concerns and patterns that repeat in adult life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, and together you will decide which methods suit you best. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused and relevant to everyday needs.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also let people choose whether to use a camera or a voice-only check-in, which can help on days when full video feels like too much.
