About Julie
BACP. 3 years' experience. Julie James works with stress, anxiety, grief, self esteem and coping with life changes. She also supports people with ADHD, panic attacks and problems such as isolation and communication difficulties.
Julie describes herself as a Cognitive Behaviour Therapist and a Humanistic Person Centred counsellor, and she has studied Transactional Analysis to understand how people relate to others. She uses these approaches together and adapts them to what each person brings to sessions. Sessions focus on practical strategies and on talking through what is happening now.
In practice, she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then tries alternative ways of responding. She also offers space to work through bereavement and loss, and to rebuild confidence after life changes. Julie aims to be open and respectful in sessions.
Julie draws on techniques from cognitive behavioural work, person centred counselling and transactional analysis depending on need. That can include looking at thought patterns, trying out new communication skills, and reflecting on how past relationships influence current behaviour. She aims for clear, straightforward sessions with practical steps to try between meetings.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Clients are invited to set goals and to review progress. Booking begins by completing an online matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session via the See online counselling options button.
How Julie's approaches can work online
Julie draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and person centred counselling, with additional use of transactional analysis. Cognitive behavioural work looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions, and includes practical strategies to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. Person centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify their feelings and build self esteem. Transactional analysis offers ways to notice how patterns of relating affect current communication and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that fit those aims. This conversation is collaborative and may lead to combining techniques to meet changing needs.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the practical arrangements when completing the matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
