Julie James helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed by grief, or struggling with self-esteem. She supports those working through big life changes and people managing ADHD symptoms. Julie aims to make the first step into talking therapy feel straightforward and manageable.

She works in a warm and down-to-earth way. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as well as space to talk about feelings. Julie combines approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Background and approach

Her counselling style draws on person-centred ideas that place the client’s experience at the centre of sessions. She also uses cognitive-behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative strategies. Transactional Analysis informs how she looks at patterns in relationships and communication.

Julie has three years of professional experience supporting people with anxiety, stress, panic attacks, grief and low self-worth. She has worked with concerns such as isolation, life purpose, communication problems and building self-love. Her work is guided by being genuine, respectful and compassionate.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Julie helps people set realistic goals and try small changes between meetings. Her aim is to help people feel steadier, more confident and clearer about next steps.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Julie blends person-centred counselling with cognitive-behavioural techniques to respond to the issues a person brings. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the client so they can find their own way forward. Cognitive-behavioural techniques look at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and try practical alternatives to reduce anxiety or panic symptoms.

Transactional Analysis is also used to spot repeated relationship and communication patterns, helping people change how they relate to others and themselves. The therapist will explain these approaches and work together with the client to choose what fits best for their goals and preferences.

Online therapy can be delivered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video calls are useful for a full face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. Together, these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and busy days while maintaining continuity of care.
