About me
Are you finding work stressful? Are you doing well in your job but finding it difficult and maybe you’re not sure it’s really what you want to do.
Is everything getting to you at the moment? Even when it may look to the outside world that you’ve got a great life, you can be struggling.
Have you experienced a loss? Maybe it was a while back and everyone thinks you’re OK now but you still feel sad, angry and hopeless.
Are you trying to do all the “right” things for your mental health – going to the gym, eating well – but still feel that things aren’t right?
Hi, I'm Julie and I get it because I've been through it myself. I spent over thirty years working in senior, high-pressure HR roles in the City of London, balancing that with being a mum. Then my husband died leaving me with two young children. I went to counselling and it was so effective I trained to be a counsellor and now I work with people like you.
I help people to recognise their own needs and understand that it's OK to meet those needs and find time for themselves. Then you can start to live the life you want.
My clients have told me that they appreciate how they feel heard and understood in our sessions and how I have helped them to make sense of and process their emotions.
If you're reading this and thinking "this sounds like me" then get in touch and let's have a chat about how I can help.
