Julia Garnham uses an integrative, person-focused way of working. She aims to build a calm, steady space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, trauma, low mood and life changes. Julia is an NCPS counsellor and brings four years of practice to each session.

She listens first and then adapts the approach to the person in front of her. Sessions combine gentle exploration with practical tools so people feel clearer and more able to cope.

Background and approach

Techniques can include talking therapies, guided relaxation and mindfulness exercises. Julia often focuses on difficulties tied to attachment and relationships, including abandonment, commitment worries and family problems. She also supports people facing body image issues, guilt, shame and the after-effects of abuse or domestic violence.

These themes are addressed in straightforward language and step-by-step ways to manage emotions. Her work also covers practical strains such as caregiving stress, coping after separation, and recovery from sudden events or disasters. Julia uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and psychodynamic thinking alongside hypnotherapy and mindfulness where helpful.

People meet her expecting a calm, non-judgemental presence and clear, doable strategies between sessions. The aim is to help people regain steadiness and make choices that fit their life now. If someone wants to explore next steps they complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions to suit them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use this to look at how people relate, respond to closeness and manage fear of abandonment, helping with attachment issues and persistent relationship worries.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers, which suits exploring self-esteem, grief and difficult feelings in a steady, supportive way.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether attachment-focused work, client-centred listening, cognitive tools or mindfulness exercises are most helpful for their goals. This is a collaborative decision and can change as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters, phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or for shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need quick, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on useful strategies and steady progress.
