About me

Hello my name is Julie, welcome to my counselling practice! I firmly believe that every individual is a tapestry woven with unique experiences, perspectives and feelings. if you're feeling a bit lost and in need of direction, you're in the right place. Together, we can explore what really matters to you, helping you uncover and solidify your core values, which act as guiding lights on your personal journey.

Self worth and self esteem can often take a hit in our fast paced world. I am here to support you in recognising and developing the strengths that reside in you, while also addressing any areas for improvement. We'll take a compassionate look at any core wounds that may be holding you back, working together to foster a sense of safety and love within yourself.

In our sessions, we will delve into your sense of self, developing a deeper understanding of who you are at your core. My integrative approach allows me to tailor our work to suit your needs, ensuring you feel fully supported throughout this process.

Life can often be complex and challenging but I am committed to being a source of support as you navigate through it. I aim to create a warm and welcoming environment where you feel free to express your thoughts and feelings without judgement. Remember, it's perfectly okay to seek help and being okay with not being okay.  Together, let's embark on this transformative journey: you deserve to learn, grow and thrive in every aspect of your life. Your story matters

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.
