Julia Haygreen

I offer flexible daytime and evening appointments. Please contact me to discuss a time that is convenient for you.

At times when you may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, alone and finding life difficult, counselling can be helpful. I am here to support you.

Connection and communication with others is an essential part of life, particularly at times of difficulty, crisis, heightened anxiety and isolation. It is human nature to grow and develop by relating to other people, in personal or professional relationships or through shared interests or experiences. When this becomes difficult to do, when something in life changes, when you feel isolated or withdrawn and don't know how to get back on track, I am here to help. I will offer support, clarity, gentle guidance and an impartial ear to listen as you work towards gradually feeling more connected with yourself and others. Within this safe and supportive relationship, we work together to create positive change in your life.

I can support you to, among others;

Work through present difficulties

Focus on a specific issue, crisis point or experience in your life

Connect with and identify your feelings

Manage difficult feelings such as anger, guilt or shame

Address difficult or challenging relationships

Make relationship decisions

Understand yourself better

Repair old and familiar patterns that are no longer working or perhaps never made you truly happy

Heal from past experiences and trauma

Discover the unknown about yourself

Accept parts you may be less comfortable with because they make you human and whole

Increase self-awareness, self-esteem and confidence

Develop a positive outlook

Embrace new opportunities

Feel free from people-pleasing

Build ways to better self-care

Experience deeper relationships with yourself and others which feel more genuine and fulfilling

As a fully qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, I offer a safe, private and accepting space for you to talk things through. Talking with me separately from your friends or family and feeling emotionally safe and understood may help you to open up more because I will not judge or give advice. Our time together will involve me helping you to work through your experiences and become more aware of your feelings, behaviours and thoughts. Together we will look at how to develop self awareness and self acceptance and to find your own voice when relating and communicating with others, which will enable you to move forward.

Certain counselling styles suit some people differently to others, so I draw from a range of approaches to provide the right support to meet your individual needs. With my support and gentle guidance, these are all possible; 

Healing from old wounds; Freedom from the past; Recovery from unhelpful patterns; A new outlook; Healthy connection with your feelings; Improved relationships; Reaching your goals; A better, happier way of living

Trainee Counsellors:

I have extensive experience supporting students with personal therapy during counselling training. I provide a safe, trusting and wholly empathic space in which to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences both past and present. Working through transferences as they arise within our therapeutic relationship will help you become more aware of the impact of past experiences and relationships on your life today. Being able to explore this openly, honestly, with curiosity and genuineness and without judgement is a fundamental relational aspect of the way I work.

Concessions are available for trainee counsellors, please contact me for details.

Our first session together is an opportunity for us to meet and to make sure this is the right support for you. The therapy process begins in the very first session. I will listen, acknowledge and validate your feelings and experiences and help you to understand what you are going through and what you need. We will explore what you goals for counselling may be, where you would like it to take you and how we can work towards that together. We will talk about how counselling works and what you can expect, including the opportunity to ask any questions that you need to help you feel reassured. My therapy room is a quiet, calm, safe space, waiting for you to take some time out for yourself.

In counselling, we will go at your pace, with gentle encouragement, to look at the difficulties you are experiencing.

This can ...

Trigger thoughts and feelings about other experiences you have had

Help you make sense of them and why they are still having an impact

Heal old wounds, repair patterns and improve current relationships

Lead to old, harmful feelings being replaced by new, positive emotions

Integrate these experiences into your new way of being in a way that is healing and transformative

Our first session is an opportunity for us to meet and talk about how we may work together in supervision. I offer a free 45 minute introductory meeting for us to look at what you need from supervision, your general client issues and how my theoretical approach may align with or work alongside your own personal approach in practice. I invite you to bring a client to enable us to experience how we may explore client issues together. We will discuss contractual terms, needs and expectations, so that we get as sense of how we may begin to construct an open and supportive working relationship.
