About Julia
BACP. 20 years' experience. Julia Harvey helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and career difficulties using client-centred and mindfulness approaches.
Julia Harvey is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) member with twenty years of professional experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, exhausted or out of balance. Common themes she addresses include stress, anxiety, grief and low energy, alongside issues such as sleep, eating, anger and depression.
Her practice uses client-centred counselling and mindfulness therapy. Sessions focus on listening to what matters to the person in front of her and finding practical ways to manage feelings and daily demands. She also offers coaching elements for people seeking clearer direction in work or life.
Julia describes a reflective style that encourages clients to notice patterns and make small changes. She writes and uses lived experience in her work, having published a book that outlines a roadmap for managing long-term health challenges and recovery from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
People who bring complex health, caregiving or family of origin issues will find she has experience with chronic illness, cancer, fertility and ageing concerns. She also lists ADHD, abandonment and attachment issues among areas she addresses.
To begin, she asks people to use the site process to match and book a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and practical session details should be confirmed before booking.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions; this can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support regulation, which many people find useful for stress, sleep and coping with chronic health problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree on how to proceed. That collaborative decision guides whether more reflective listening, mindfulness practice or coaching-style work is used in sessions.
Practical benefits of having sessions remotely include fitting counselling into a busy week and making attendance easier around work or caring commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm the exact options before you book. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to offer shorter check-ins, quieter arrangements when needed, or the option to avoid travel, which can help keep counselling consistent alongside daily life.
