About me

Life can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to push our feelings aside and carry on. But when we ignore certain parts of ourselves, they can quietly shape our daily lives, sometimes in ways we don’t fully understand. You might feel stuck, anxious, or unsure of how to move forward. Or perhaps you know exactly what’s troubling you but don’t know where to begin. Does this sound familiar?

You don’t have to figure it out alone—I’m here to help.

At different points in life, we can all feel overwhelmed. Even with the support of friends and family, there are times when talking to a professional counsellor can make all the difference.

I’m Julie, a qualified and experienced counsellor dedicated to helping clients uncover their inner strength, explore new perspectives, and create meaningful change in their lives.

I often work with parts of self, exploring the internal conflicts that can keep us feeling stuck. Through gentle reflection and challenge, I help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and what you truly want. Together, we can find new possibilities, helping you feel more at ease, less anxious, and more connected to yourself and those around you.

I understand that choosing the right therapist can feel daunting. That’s why I offer a safe, compassionate, and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. I believe the therapist-client relationship is at the heart of successful therapy, and my approach is built on trust, care, and respect.

My aim is to help you feel more like yourself—whatever that might look like for you.

I work from a peaceful therapy room in my garden in Kintbury, surrounded by beautiful countryside. There is plenty of parking available.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical framework.

Fees: £55 per 50-minute session (weekly sessions).

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
