Julie Kirk trained and practises in the United Kingdom and brings five years of clinical experience to her counselling work. She uses approachable language and simple tools to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. Julie focuses on practical steps as well as talking through difficult feelings.

She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and emotions can be explored. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Julie listens first, then helps people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with grief and loss, family and relationship concerns, parenting strain and trauma and abuse. She also supports people coping with life changes such as divorce, bereavement or career transitions. Julie works with concerns around sleep, self-esteem, anger and intimacy.

Julie draws on several practical approaches including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural tools and solution-focused techniques. These methods are used in simple, easy-to-follow ways so people can practise things between sessions. She also brings narrative ideas to help people make sense of difficult experiences.

People who come to Julie often want straightforward help to feel steadier day to day. She is comfortable guiding short-term, goal-focused work or a longer conversation depending on what the person wants. Sessions can be delivered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation so people feel heard and understood. It helps when someone simply needs space to talk through difficult feelings and to find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers simple exercises and practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, realistic steps and on what people want to be different. It is useful for short-term work and for making steady progress on specific goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your situation, discuss options and agree a plan that fits your goals and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for a full conversation, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and text options suit quick check-ins or people who prefer messaging. These choices make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting and everyday life.
