About Julie-Ann
Julie-Ann Huggins is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience. She offers a warm, interactive approach and aims to help people find solutions and greater meaning in their lives.
She creates an open space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgement. Sessions focus on practical steps to improve day-to-day coping, rebuild confidence, and discover what matters most to each person.
Her work combines several counselling approaches so each plan is tailored. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring attachment patterns, or using acceptance strategies to manage painful emotions. The goal is to build skills that fit real life rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Julie-Ann often supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and issues around addiction or self-esteem. Her wider focus also includes adoption and foster care related concerns, abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and neurodiversity-related challenges.
Her style is practical and compassionate. She encourages collaboration so people feel involved in planning their work together. Prospective clients are invited to consider what they want to change and bring that into the first conversation.
How therapy approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters to the person and small actions that bring life more in line with those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and teaches practical tools to change patterns that cause distress. It suits problems like anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns from early relationships to understand how they shape current connections and emotional responses; it can help with relationship strain, abandonment worries and issues linked to adoption and foster care.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie-Ann treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss what fits each person's goals and preferences. She adapts methods so clients can try approaches and decide what helps most.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to keep regular contact and to review progress between meetings.
