About Julie
BACP. 8 years' experience. Julie Little works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and addictions. She also supports problems with eating, sleeping, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar and depression, and compassion fatigue.
Julie uses a person-centred stance and practical therapies to help people manage symptoms and make changes. She draws on client-centred counselling alongside cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour ideas, solution-focused work and trauma-focused approaches. Sessions focus on clear, achievable steps and on understanding patterns that keep problems going.
She has earlier experience spanning over 20 years supporting families and young people in the education and care sector. That background informs how she talks about family dynamics, attachment and care-related stress. Julie also works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, and blended-family challenges.
In practical terms she aims for straightforward conversations. People can expect a blend of listening, practical exercises and short-term planning. Techniques may include reframing thoughts, behavioural experiments, distress-tolerance skills and focused work on trauma memories when needed.
Sessions are run in English and Julie accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are supplied through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Julie commonly uses client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy in her online work. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening carefully and helping people make sense of their own experience, which supports personal reflection and problem solving. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression and many everyday difficulties.She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events continue to cause distress. That kind of work concentrates on processing traumatic memories and learning skills to manage strong emotions and intrusive thoughts. The therapist will discuss options and priorities with each person to decide which approaches suit their concerns and goals; this is a collaborative process rather than a preset plan.
Check the session formats offered before booking to confirm how you will meet. Different formats can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or caring responsibilities, for example by reducing travel time or enabling shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions helpful for keeping continuity of care across locations, but confirm current session options with the service before arranging appointments.
