Julie Harrison offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She helps with low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Julie keeps things straightforward and respectful so conversations feel manageable even on a bad day.

Julie is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with three years of professional experience. She adapts her way of working to suit each person, aiming to meet immediate needs and longer-term goals.

Background and approach

Conversations are collaborative and paced to what the client can manage. Julie often helps people who are facing midlife shifts, separation or the strain of caregiving. She also supports those living with chronic pain, illness or persistent panic symptoms.

Work can focus on improving communication, rebuilding self-worth or finding direction and meaning. Her style is warm and practical. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and small, achievable steps to get there.

Julie encourages people to try different ways of coping and to notice what makes a real difference in day-to-day life. Clients can expect a simple, down-to-earth approach that values patience and steady progress. Julie believes reaching out is a strong first step and aims to provide steady support while people work toward clearer thinking and more manageable routines.

How Julie adapts therapy online and by phone

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted for remote work. One approach focuses on practical coping skills and problem-solving to reduce anxiety and manage panic symptoms; this involves learning simple tools to use when stress spikes. Another approach concentrates on building self-esteem and improving communication, which helps people speak up more clearly and feel more confident in relationships.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Julie will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those aims. Sessions include regular check-ins so the plan can be adjusted when something is or isn't helping.

Online formats make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing, need more frequent brief contact, or like to reflect in writing. These options help sessions fit around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
