About Julie

Julie Stevens is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those facing addiction, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and people coping with big life changes. Julie holds BACP accreditation and works from the United Kingdom, bringing a practical, person-focused approach to conversations about mental health and wellbeing.

She aims to make sessions feel open and non-judgemental so clients can talk about difficult feelings. Her style is grounded in client-centred therapy, which means she follows each person's pace and priorities rather than imposing solutions. Julie encourages honest discussion about what is working and what people want to change.

Julie combines four years of professional counselling experience with a longer background as a Mental Health Nurse, which informs her awareness of common challenges around mood, behaviour and coping. She draws on that history to help people find manageable steps forward and rebuild confidence.

Typical sessions focus on clear, short-term goals and practical strategies. Conversations may cover emotional patterns, triggers, coping techniques and ways to improve sleep, eating or daily routine. Julie supports people exploring career stress, parenting strain, ageing concerns and the impact of trauma and loss.

People are invited to describe their current difficulties and what they hope to change. Julie works collaboratively to shape the work and adapt approaches as needs evolve. The emphasis is on real-world changes that fit into everyday life.

How Julie’s Client-Centred Approach Works Online

Julie uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping them make sense of feelings and decide what to work on next. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Her background as a Mental Health Nurse also shapes the way she notices practical problems such as sleep, eating and daily routines. Conversations will often include checking what is happening day to day and trying small changes to improve coping and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide what methods suit their goals and preferences. That means adapting the pace, focusing on immediate problems or exploring deeper patterns depending on what people want.

The therapist's profile does not list which online or remote formats are offered, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family, reduce travel time and allow more consistent check-ins. It can also be useful when someone needs a shorter follow-up or prefers not to use video, but check what formats the therapist currently provides.
