Psychotherapist and Supervisor

About me

Hi, my name is Julie

I offer a warm and supportive space where we can explore what may be making life feel difficult, and help you feel more connected to yourself and others. You may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and lonely, or caught up in patterns that you feel unable to change.

I offer the opportunity to slow down and explore what’s happening. Together we look at the emotions, relationships, and experiences that have shaped you, noticing how they appear in your everyday life and their impact. 

We map the threads that keep you stuck and move at a steady, collaborative pace—exploring past hurts and thinking about how you can test new, and different ways of relating and caring for yourself.

This approach suits people seeking achievable change and a clearer relationship with themselves. It can help you bring understanding to what keeps you stuck and open up new ways of responding and living differently.

I have experience working with trauma, bereavement and loss, childhood experiences, sexual and domestic abuse, anger, self‑harm, relationship difficulties, anxiety, and depression. I also have a particular interest in eating disorders and in exploring family stories that influence our relationship with food.

I offer short term or long term counselling and psychotherapy both face to face and online.

Text or email to set up an initial free 20 minute Zoom chat to talk how we could work together.

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
