Julia Bellerby (MBACP Accred/reg) Counsellor/Psychotherapist, Coach, Supervisor

About me

I believe we all have the power to understand ourselves better and bring about positive changes, whether that's how you live your life day to day, how you are in relationships or putting your past more firmly behind you. As your therapist, it's my job to help you feel really understood and supported as you make your life closer to what you want it to be.

I've been qualified as a Counsellor/Psychotherapist since 2002; I'm qualified as a Supervisor of Counsellors and I also have a Diploma in Coaching. I have a thriving private practice and see 15 - 20 clients a week who face all sorts of difficulties: disordered eating, recovery from trauma, depression, anxiety and panic, anger management, bereavement, addictions, relationship issues, self esteem problems, self-harm, OCD, phobias, workplace stress.

I have a comfortable and private counselling room overlooking my local park just a few minutes walk from the centre of York. There's on-street parking and several buses stop nearby. I'm also very used to working on the phone, by Skype or online if that's more convenient.

I particularly specialise in helping with eating problems and have done a great deal of extra training in this area as well as having personal experience of an eating disorder. Whether you have a problem like anorexia or bulimia or would describe it more as having a complicated relationship with food, I can help you learn to become much more relaxed around eating. I also frequently see people who are in the difficult position of being close to someone with an eating disorder.

If you think I could help you to change your life for the better, please give me a call or send me an email to find out more.
