About Julie
Julie Leeper is a BACP counsellor with six years of professional experience. She supports people who are facing grief, addictions, sleep problems and parenting stress, and she helps people manage major life changes. Julie aims to make the first step into therapy easier by offering a calm, non-judgemental space to talk things through.
Her style is straightforward and practical. She focuses on what is happening now and what small changes might make daily life a bit easier. Sessions look at patterns that contribute to difficulties like poor sleep, drinking or trouble coping after loss, and then explore simple steps to change those patterns.
Julie places value on listening carefully and responding in a down-to-earth way. She encourages honest conversation about fears, regrets and hopes. That can include talking about guilt, shame, family strain, or problems with communication and control.
When parenting is hard, she helps parents untangle stress and find more workable routines and boundaries. For people dealing with addiction or relapse risk, she helps identify triggers and practical coping strategies.
People who come with chronic pain, ageing concerns, attachment worries or relationship breakdowns will find a clinician who will talk through practical coping and next steps. If you are unsure whether this is the right fit, the site questionnaire and initial matching can help you decide before you book.
How therapy approaches are used online
Julie works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach looks at current behaviour patterns and how they keep problems going; the therapist helps identify small experiments to change those patterns and improve daily routines. Another useful technique targets coping skills and problem-solving to reduce distress from grief, sleep disruption or addiction and to make immediate evenings and mornings more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. This decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new issues arise.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before you book because the biography does not specify them. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, allow quick check-ins between appointments, and let people choose quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor session length and pacing to suit your routine.
