Person-centred work and how it translates online
Julie practises a person-centred approach, which means the counselling focuses on the client's experience and choices. In practice this looks like careful listening, reflecting feelings back, and helping people clarify what they want to change. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and the aftermath of trauma.Her sessions aim to be empathetic and straightforward rather than directive. Together the client and therapist decide the pace, topics and practical steps. Finding the right approach is part of the work, and she will help clients test what fits best for their needs and goals in a collaborative way.
The original biography does not list which online or remote formats are used, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and maintain continuity when circumstances change. It also allows for shorter check-ins or clearer scheduling around work or childcare, depending on the formats offered. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt techniques so they work well across different session types.
