Julie-Ann Huggins is a BACP counsellor with five years of experience. She offers an open, warm space where people can say difficult things without judgement. She focuses on practical steps that help someone feel a little better each week.

She keeps therapy interactive and straightforward. Sessions look at what matters to the person and what gets in the way. She helps people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and work towards clearer goals.

Background and approach

Her practice adapts to the issue at hand. That can mean talking through stress and anxiety, looking at relationship and intimacy questions, or addressing trauma and abuse. She also supports people coping with grief, addictions, and changes at work or in family life.

Julie-Ann uses a mix of approaches to match each person. She draws on methods that focus on values, thoughts and behaviours, and on how early attachment shapes current relationships. The result is a personalised plan rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

She pays attention to practical concerns too. That includes sleep, eating, parenting strains, and the impact of chronic illness or caregiving. Sessions can also explore identity and LGBT issues, body image, ADHD and motivation challenges.

People can expect clear, down-to-earth conversation and suggestions to try between sessions. The aim is not just to talk but to help someone find workable changes that fit their life.

How Julie-Ann’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and struggles with motivation because it focuses on action rather than only on changing thoughts.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and how to develop safer, more trusting interactions with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie-Ann will discuss options and adjust methods to fit someone’s goals and preferences. She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision rather than a fixed plan.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, live chat offers quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats give flexibility for people juggling work, family or health demands and let the counsellor and client focus on practical steps that can be tried in everyday life.
