Julie Kuhn, BACP

Julie Kuhn is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship worries. She supports those coping with grief, trauma, anger, compassion fatigue and the strains of chronic illness. She also works with career concerns and issues related to LGBT identity and women’s wellbeing. Julie uses an approachable, warm style and aims to make people feel heard and respected from the start.

Julie draws on five years of experience and works in ways that suit each person. She tailors sessions to what an individual needs, mixing practical problem-solving with time to reflect. Her approach includes client-centred listening, cognitive tools to shift unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices and body-focused work when that is helpful.

Her sessions often focus on skills you can use between meetings. That might be strategies to manage anxiety, short exercises to reframe negative thoughts, or simple mindfulness steps to calm the body. Julie also helps people build stronger communication and set boundaries so daily life becomes easier to manage.

People who come to Julie are offered a relaxed, compassionate space to talk through difficulties. She emphasises small, achievable changes and supports clients as they practise new ways of coping. The aim is to help people make their own choices, feel more confident and reduce distress over time.

To begin, Julie asks clients to describe their situation and goals so sessions are personalised. This helps focus the work and track progress as concerns change.

How Julie's approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist offers a non-judgemental space and follows what matters most to you, which helps when you need someone to talk things through. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as you try things and notice what helps.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and CBT tools between sessions, so practical skills are built into everyday life.
