Therapeutic approaches and online support tailored to you
Julie-Ann regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - a practical approach that encourages people to clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to meaningful action. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood, motivation, and living through significant life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy is another key element of her work. This approach explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connection, and it can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, and issues stemming from loss or abandonment.
She also draws on client-centered principles, placing the person at the heart of the process and offering empathic listening and collaboration so clients can find their own solutions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process - Julie-Ann will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives and to receive support from locations beyond traditional clinic settings. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
