About me
What can I offer you?
As a qualified counsellor, I offer a place where you can share the things that you’re struggling with at the moment, where you'll be really heard and where you can feel at ease to be your true self.
Talking about your problems can help you find ways to manage what’s going on for you right now and help you to feel better. It gives you the chance to explore your feelings, understand yourself more and overcome difficulties.
I offer tailored therapy which is as individual as you are and my focus will always be on you and your needs and your wants in each session.
What might you bring to counselling?
My current clients bring a range of things including anxiety and depression, relationship issues, abuse, past trauma, bereavement and low self-esteem/self-worth. Many don’t feel happy within themselves and want to make changes or maybe find a way to cope with something they can’t change.
How do I work?
I am what’s called a Humanistic Person-Centred Counsellor. What that actually means is that I am here to listen to you, I won’t judge anything you say, I will put myself in your shoes and I will reflect your feelings and thoughts in an open and honest way.
We can explore what’s happening for you in your life, the relationships you have with people around you and we might talk about past events that have been difficult. Talking about these things should lead to increased self-awareness, which often leads to change.
I offer clients the opportunity to work creatively with resources, such as cards, pens, sand trays and objects, that help them express their feelings.
Coaching
I am also a professional coach-mentor and this suits some clients as I can integrate coaching approaches into our sessions. This might take the form of goal-focused problem-solving and collaborative exploration which helps with self-discovery and empowerment. Many clients find this particularly valuable as their therapeutic work completes and they want to look to the future.
If you are more interested in professional development or career coaching, I can offer that separately (please see my website - www.hannoblue.com).
Our relationship
Building a successful therapeutic relationship between us is essential in creating the best environment for us to work together. For individuals, I offer an initial free, no obligation consultation (usually lasting 30 minutes) so that we can talk about why you’ve come for counselling.
We can get to know each other and discuss how I might be able to help you and I hope that will be the start of building a trusted relationship where you feel free to talk openly and really be your true self.
Where I work
I support clients in the Salisbury and Winchester areas, plus online.
I work from my home office in a small village, Idmiston, 5 miles north-east of Salisbury and I am just 15 minutes from the A303. There’s plenty of space on the drive to park.
I can also work in Winchester, if that is closer for you or online/phone.
The counselling journey
Most clients come for an ‘hour’ (the counselling hour is 50 mins) each week and some reduce to fortnightly or monthly sessions as their counselling journey comes to an end.
I offer counselling on an open-ended basis – there is no time limit. Each client is unique and needs their own time to process their changes.
Couples
I offer Couple therapy, also known as Couples Counselling. This is a therapeutic process that helps partners in a romantic relationship resolve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen their bond. I will facilitate discussion between you both, help you to identify patterns, and work with you both to enhance your emotional connection and solve issues.
Couple work still lasts for 50 minutes per week and is priced at £75 per session. I also offer a longer initial consultation (up to 1 hour) which is priced at £25.
What next?
Please call me (07859 936518) or email me (julia@hannoblue.com) and we can arrange an initial consultation.
Thanks, Julia

Training, qualifications & experience
Training and Qualifications
I hold a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I am an accredited Senior Practitioner Coach, holding a Diploma in Professional Coach-Mentoring and I am a member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC).
I am committed to regular continuous professional development, both as a coach and a counsellor. Further training includes topics such as: suicide and self harm, working with trauma and shame, sexual abuse, mental health and the body and couples therapy.
Work and Life Experiences
For 35 years I worked in technology and change management in financial services organisations, but I decided that I needed a life change in 2015 following a family bereavement.
I saw the power of counselling and decided to re-train as a counsellor and then using my existing coaching qualifications and experience, in 2020 I founded a small business offering coaching and counselling services. I also work with 2 charities - The Olive Branch in Winchester and START in Andover. I also volunteer as a professional coach-mentor for young women.
My life experiences include relationship issues and endings, bereavement and loss, my own stress and anxiety and neurodiversity. I believe that these help me to understand my clients who have similar issues and connect with them more deeply. I am also from a military family (Army) and this helps me relate to some of the issues that my military clients bring.
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.

The initial consultation is free and with no obligation. This will last about 30 minutes and we can do this on the phone, online or in person.

Thereafter, I charge £50 per 50 minute session (Idmiston/on-line/telephone) or £60 (Winchester).

There is a fee of £25 for the initial consultation which lasts for up to 1 hour. Thereafter I charge £75 per 50 minute session.

Thank you for reading my profile. I'd like to leave you with one of my favourite quotes:
"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." ~ Barak Obama
Having experienced the power of transformational change myself, I am now passionate about helping others to achieve their own changes. Please get in touch and let’s talk.
