About me
MAY 2026 - Thanks for looking at my profile. Please be aware that I am currently only offering support for low complexity trauma or distressing memories, using a specific counselling approach called Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). To find out more about EMDR please see my website or ask for further information - Julia@hannoblue.com | 07859 936518.
What can I offer you?
As an accredited psychotherapist (counsellor) and coach, 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 therapy sessions?
My current clients bring a range of things including anxiety and depression, relationship issues, abuse, past trauma, bereavement, workplace stress 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?
My work is grounded in a humanistic, person-centred approach, which simply means the relationship comes first. I’m here to listen closely, without judgement and to really try to understand your world from your perspective. I’ll reflect your feelings and thoughts openly and honestly, so you can hear yourself more clearly and make sense of what’s going on for you. I believe that everyone has an innate drive to grow, heal and become more fully themselves when they’re met with genuine understanding and support.
Together we can explore what’s happening in your life right now, how your relationships are shaping you and any past experiences that may still be affecting you. As your self-awareness grows, it often becomes easier to make meaningful changes, feel more in control, and move forward in a way that feels authentic to you.
I offer clients the opportunity to work creatively with resources, such as cards, pens, sand trays and objects, that help them express their feelings.
EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing
EMDR is a trauma therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional charge. By using bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or tapping) while recalling the trauma, stuck memories can be “re-filed” as past events, reducing symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety and hypervigilance.
I am currently able to offer therapy for low complexity traumatic and distressing experiences using this approach.
Therapeutic Coaching
As an accredited coach-mentor, I offer a therapeutic coaching approach for clients who benefit from combining deeper emotional work with future-focused growth. This may involve bringing coaching tools into our sessions, such as goal-focused exploration, structured reflection and practical problem-solving, to support clarity, confidence and empowerment. Many clients find this especially valuable as their therapeutic work evolves and they begin to shift their attention towards creating meaningful change, breaking existing behaviour patterns and stepping into the next stage of their lives.
If you are more interested in professional development or career coaching, I can offer that separately (please see my website - www.hannoblue.com).
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 £85 per session. I also offer a longer initial consultation (up to 1 hour) which is priced at £25.
Our relationship - initial consultation
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 therapy.
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 area, 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.
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 therapy journey comes to an end.
I offer therapy on an open-ended basis – there is no time limit. Each client is unique and needs their own time to process their changes.
What next?
Please call me (07859 936518) or email me (julia@hannoblue.com) and we can arrange an initial consultation.
Thank you, Julia

Training, qualifications & experience
Training and Qualifications
I hold a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I am an individually accredited 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 working with topics such as: suicide and self harm, trauma, sexual abuse, mental health and the body, couples therapy and EMDR (part 1).
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 therapy and decided to re-train as a psychotherapist 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 (offering general counselling) and START in Andover (offering support for those who have suffered previous sexual abuse). I also volunteer as a professional coach-mentor for young women in the corporate sector and technology.
My life experiences include relationship issues and endings, bereavement and loss, my own stress and anxiety, neurodiversity and LGBTQ+. 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 local military clients bring.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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 £60 per 50 minute session for individuals who are self-funding.

Prices for sessions provided through insurance companies and EAPs such as AXA, BUPA and Aviva, vary in accordance with their fee schedules. Fees are usually collected directly from the provider. You may be required to contribute to some of the fees for your sessions, but we can discuss this, depending on your provider.
