Dr Julia Huerter

I currently have availability for new clients and offer appointments during weekdays, with some flexibility depending on your preferred day and time.

Please get in touch to enquire about current availability. I will do my best to accommodate your needs where possible.

If I am unavailable or taking time away from my practice, I will update my availability accordingly.

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with many years of clinical experience, as well as a trained medical doctor. I also work as a Lecturer in Integrative Psychotherapy (MSc Level 7). My background allows me to offer a holistic and informed approach to mental health care.

My therapeutic style is relational-integrative, meaning I place the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the process. I believe meaningful change begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and supported. I draw on a range of evidence-based models, tailoring my approach to each client’s unique personality, life context, and needs. These include Person-Centred Therapy, Relational Therapy, CBT, DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), and Transactional Analysis.

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I trained and worked as a medical doctor in surgery, internal medicine, and obstetrics & gynaecology. My deep interest in mental health eventually led me to train in psychotherapy, a path I find deeply fulfilling. Alongside my private practice, I work as an academic lecturer and primary tutor at the Metanoia Institute in London and within the counselling service of a higher education college. I very much enjoy teaching trainee therapists at various levels, including MSc students.

Having lived in Germany, the USA, Iceland, and the Netherlands, I bring an international perspective and appreciation for cultural diversity into my work. As a mother of four, I have a strong interest in supporting young people and families, helping them navigate challenges and build emotional resilience.

I work with adults and young people, aiming to create a space that is warm, respectful, and safe, where clients feel empowered to grow, heal, and move towards their full potential.

The use of the title Dr in this directory listing relates to the member’s doctorate qualification. However, this does not imply a general medical qualification.

I offer therapy sessions in-person, online, or by telephone. Standard sessions are 50 minutes and are charged at £70.

You are welcome to get in touch to arrange a free 15-minute initial consultation, giving us an opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy and whether I might be the right therapist for you. Alternatively, if you prefer, we can arrange a full therapy session straight away.

The length of therapy can be short-term or longer-term, depending on your needs and what feels right for you.

Our first session will be an opportunity to get to know each other and to consider whether we would like to work together. I will be happy to explain my way of working and answer any questions you may have. I welcome you to tell me about what is going on for you, what has brought you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from it.

There is no expectation to tell me everything in the first session, and you can share as much or as little as feels comfortable. I will listen with empathy, respect your pace, and be sensitive to what you are ready and willing to explore.

Together, we can begin to think about what you need and how I might best support you. You are also very welcome to ask questions or raise any concerns at any point. My aim is for you to feel heard, understood, and comfortable enough to decide whether therapy with me feels right for you.
