Based in the United Kingdom, Julie is a registered member of the British Association Of Counselling Practitioners (BACP), a professional association for counsellors in the UK, and she operates under British law. She has over seven years of experience supporting people across residential settings, schools, and charity environments, and brings a commitment to helping clients build strategies and inner strength as they move forward.

Her therapeutic style is empathetic, honest, and open, with a strong belief that the relationship between therapist and client forms the foundation of meaningful work. Julie has worked with trauma and abuse, self-harm, self-esteem and confidence issues, and eating disorders, among other concerns. She welcomes the opportunity to walk alongside individuals on their journeys and looks forward to meeting new clients.
