Please get in touch for possible availability. 

Hi, I am Julie,

I recognise that reaching out for counselling can sometimes feel daunting, difficult or even confusing, particularly when you may not be sure where to start. Whether something has happened recently or you have been carrying something for many years, we can begin wherever you are.

I offer a warm, compassionate and relational approach to counselling, providing a space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood and accepted without judgement.Together, we can begin to make sense of what you are experiencing and explore what might help you move forward.

You don't need to arrive with all the answers. We can take time to explore what matters to you at a pace that feels right for you. 

I will walk alongside you throughout the process, respecting your individuality, values, beliefs, and choices.

I believe counselling is not about telling you what to do or trying to 'fix' you. It is a collaborative process where we can explore together what is happening in your life and what matters to you.

I work integratively, drawing on different therapeutic approaches, particularly Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and Systemic Therapy. This allows me to adapt the way we work to your individual needs, recognising that everyone's experience and circumstances are unique.

At the heart of my practice is the therapeutic relationship. I aim to provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

Our work may involve looking at patterns from the past and how they influence your present experiences, exploring difficulties in relationships, or becoming more aware of your feelings, needs and choices in the here and the now.

Working with couples

I also offer couples counselling, providing a supportive and balanced space where both partners can feel heard and respected.

Together, we can explore communication difficulties, recurring patterns of conflict, emotional disconnection and other challenges affecting your relationship or marriage.

Throughout our work together, you remain at the centre of the process and we can regularly reflect on and review what is helpful for you and where you would like our work to go.

Free introductory consultation

I offer a free 20-minute introductory telephone consultation, giving you an opportunity to tell me a little about what has led you to consider counselling, to ask questions and explore whether working together feels right for you.

Your first counselling session

Individual counselling sessions are £60 for 60 minutes, while couples counselling sessions are £90 for 90 minutes.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to begin exploring what is bothering you, your current circumstances and what you hope to gain from our work together.

We will also discuss how counselling works, including confidentiality and its limits, boundaries and our working agreement. I may ask questions to help me understand your needs and how we might work together.

My aim is to offer you a warm, welcoming non-judgemental space where you feel heard, understood and supported.

We can begin wherever you are, at a pace that feels right for you.

You don't have to carry this alone.
