Julie Gregory-Bateman, BACP

Julie Gregory-Bateman is a trauma-informed psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She offers a calm, supportive approach that allows clients to move at their own pace, whether they wish to focus on present difficulties or explore earlier life experiences to understand the roots of anger, sadness, or self-doubt. Julie combines warmth and non-judgmental listening with practical therapeutic tools to help people re-evaluate their lives and find more manageable ways of responding to ongoing challenges.

She has four years of clinical experience and draws on a range of training and qualifications. Julie holds a Master of Science degree with distinction in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy Skills, and an Advanced Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - a form of therapy that addresses patterns of thought and behaviour. She also holds an accreditation certificate in dementia and related patient care, is a registered member of the BACP (the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), and is fully indemnity insured. These credentials underpin her work with adults facing issues such as attachment concerns, avoidance, relationship and communication difficulties, hospice and end-of-life matters, and the emotional impact of illness.

Before training in psychotherapy, Julie had a successful career in business management across finance, logistics, procurement, personnel, and hospitality, experience she uses to understand practical life pressures and signpost appropriate support when helpful. Outside of work she is involved in local community projects, enjoys time outdoors with her family and their four-legged companion, and values offering an approachable first point of contact for anyone considering therapy. If she seems like a possible fit, prospective clients are encouraged to reach out for an initial conversation.
