About Julie

Julie Little is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and relationship worries. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, body image concerns, parenting strain and career or life changes. Julie works with adults facing addictions, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and people feeling worn down by compassion fatigue.

She draws on eight years of professional practice and holds BACP registration, which she uses alongside a warm, caring manner. Julie speaks plainly and keeps sessions focused on what the person needs right now. She believes each person is the expert in their own story and builds on existing strengths.

Julie spent over 20 years supporting families and young people in education and care settings, and that experience informs how she listens and responds. In sessions she aims to make difficult problems easier to talk about. She offers practical strategies as well as space to process painful feelings.

Her approach mixes client-centred work with evidence-informed tools. Julie uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques when helpful. She also uses solution-focused ideas and trauma-focused methods with people who have experienced abuse or loss.

People can expect a straightforward, compassionate style. Julie helps set clear goals and reviews progress together. She invites clients to take manageable steps and to use their strengths to move forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. It involves open listening, reflecting what matters to you and helping you find your own answers; it is useful for building confidence and for relationship or self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage low mood and improve sleep or routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences and life circumstances to decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow conversations to continue when people live at a distance or are caring for others, while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
