How Julie’s approaches can work online

Julie draws on person-centred therapy to prioritise the client's own perspective. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people make choices that feel right for them. It suits issues like low confidence, life changes and relationship worries.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong emotions in relationships and attachment. It is useful when people want to understand patterns in how they relate to others and to change emotional responses. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move someone towards their goals, which is helpful for stress, anxiety and coping with day-to-day problems.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Julie will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit the person's needs. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist's current practice. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or parenting, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a shorter conversation is useful. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can offer effective support via remote sessions when those practical benefits matter.
