Julie Durmush is a counsellor who bases her work on a client-centred approach. She brings six years of experience and uses a mix of methods to suit each person. Julie aims to listen without judgement and helps people feel understood as they talk through what is troubling them.

She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, LGBT issues, self-esteem and depression. Other areas she supports include abandonment and attachment concerns, communication problems, control issues, body image and isolation.

Background and approach

Julie also addresses mood disorders, dissociation, guilt and shame, and questions around gender and life purpose. Julie is registered with the National Counselling Society, listed as NCPS, and follows its ethical framework. She has worked with adults and young people from a range of backgrounds, and has experience with workplace trauma and childhood trauma.

This background informs her practical way of working with common life stresses and more complex histories. In sessions Julie blends client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness and trauma-focused methods when helpful. She adapts the approach to the issue at hand so each session addresses the person’s immediate needs and longer term goals.

People can expect warmth, compassion and a steady presence in sessions. Julie offers one-off focused sessions when useful, and tools such as the wheel of life to map priorities and make practical changes. The overall aim is clearer thinking and more manageable next steps.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Julie combines client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and trauma-focused methods to meet each person’s needs. Client-centred work means listening closely and building sessions around what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and wants a compassionate space to make sense of feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Trauma-focused therapy offers ways to address painful memories and reactions, using paced steps so people regain a sense of control and calm.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Julie will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt the methods over time. That collaborative planning helps make sure sessions stay relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for in-depth dialogue and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people share between sessions and suit shorter or more flexible contacts. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
