About me
I'm Julie Shipton and I am a Trauma Psychotherapist and Humanistic Counsellor for Adults, Children and Young People.
My private practice is called Growing Wings where I can provide you with the support and guidance you need on your journey towards healing and personal growth. My practice is built on a foundation of empathy and professionalism within a warm and welcoming space.
I offer a range of therapeutic services to individuals of all ages either face to face in Swansea, or online. Whether you're an adult seeking a warm and supportive environment for self-discovery, a parent looking for help for your child, or a young person seeking emotional balance and resilience, I'm here to assist you. I provide both short-term and long-term therapy, tailored to your specific needs.
My trauma training has provided me with the status of Certified Trauma Professional enabling me to offer specialist trauma therapy to those who may be suffering from PTSD and Complex PTSD. I am trained in a range of evidence based trauma therapies.
Additionally, I specialise in working with ADHD and I'm passionate about helping individuals find their strength and resilience amidst life's challenges. My journey in counselling has been shaped by a deep commitment to understanding and supporting those in need. Together, we'll navigate your unique journey towards healing, empowerment, and a greater sense of well-being.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
