About me
Hi, I'm Julie.
I'm a registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist experienced in helping people who are feeling overwhelmed, questioning their sense of identity, experiencing low self-worth, carrying attachment and developmental trauma, holding grief, navigating relationship difficulties, and living with challenges arising from being neurodivergent within an ableist environment.
I work in partnership with my clients, accompanying, supporting, encouraging, gently challenging. My aim is to support you to build self-acceptance, self-trust and self-compassion, and to enable you to experience day-to-day life with greater ease and to feel more equipped to handle the challenges you face.
I bring warmth and kindness, empathy and integrity, compassion and curiosity to our therapeutic conversations. I am interested in embodiment and the impact our environment has on us. As an integrative therapist, I draw on different approaches and ways of working in response to your individual needs and in support of your healing and growth.
My practice is Person Centred and influenced by Existential and Gestalt understanding. I work with parts of self in support of building self-acceptance, self-trust and self-compassion. Culturally sensitive, I aim to integrate all aspects of your experience. I want to understand your social context and the structural barriers you may be facing, recognising what lies beyond the things that can be changed at an individual level.
I offer counselling in different settings. Indoors, from a peaceful and nurturing plant-filled therapy room. Outdoors, walking side-by-side in green spaces which can help to ground and inspire. Online, to meet with accessibility and availability needs.
Contact me for a (free of charge) 30 min conversation for us to find out if we want to work together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am trained in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, holding a Professional Diploma at Level 5.
Prior to setting up my private Therapy Practice, I worked at two well-respected Sheffield charitable organisations where I had the privilege of providing therapy for adults of different backgrounds and ages who were navigating a wide range of challenges and difficulties. Additionally, I worked as a Peer-Support-Group Facilitator and saw the power of being heard, seen and understand by a group of trusted others.
I also hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring and work as a Therapeutic Coach with over 10 years experience of helping others to embrace life on their terms: raising their self-awareness, growing self-trust and self-compassion, and finding the courage to be more fully who they are beneath the labels, roles, and expectations.
Prior to this, my professional background was in Higher Education, where I developed a passion for supporting others and building community.
