About me
Hi, I’m Julia. I specialise in supporting those who are navigating neurodivergence, anxiety, and the effects of trauma.
Perhaps you’re feeling like you’re on the edge, and you can’t keep up the pretence anymore. I’ve been there too.
I’m a therapist who understands the emotional weight of carrying a heavy family load - the guilt, frustration, and exhaustion that comes from advocating for your children and exploring your own neurodivergence.
I know how isolating it can feel when you’re trying to hold everything together. You don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll look beyond the burnout and overwhelm to understand what’s really driving those feelings.
Clients often tell me they feel at ease opening up - that our work helps lighten the load they’ve been carrying. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe and truly heard as we make sense of things together.
Imagine a life where you worry less, enjoy more, and are kinder to yourself and those around you. You’re in the right place. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled. You just need someone who gets it and can work alongside you. Book your discovery call now and let’s see if we’re a good fit.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Salford. This course is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Each session is led by you and tailored to your needs. We start from a person-centred perspective and as our work progresses, I may combine approaches in a way that best supports your healing and growth.
I offer:
Person-Centred Therapy
The ‘mainstay’ of my practice is person-centred therapy. This approach is founded on the belief that you have the capacity to understand yourself and make positive changes when you have the right support. I don’t tell you what to do—instead, I provide a safe, understanding, and accepting space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely.
Trauma-Informed Approach
Having worked in abuse and trauma settings, I know that some clients benefit from a more trauma-informed approach. I have trained in Lifespan Integration Therapy (LI), which helps you gently process and integrate difficult trauma memories, so they lose their emotional intensity. LI works well alongside person-centred therapy.
Parts Work and Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I also bring elements of compassionate parts work and Internal Family Systems (IFS) into my practice. IFS views the mind as a system of “parts” that interact like an inner family. Working in this way can help you build self-compassion and care for all parts of yourself.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
My family includes a range of neurodivergent experiences - ADHD, Autism, PDA, and OCD. Through this, I’ve learnt a lot about compassion, patience, and how to support dysregulated nervous systems.
