About Julia

Julia Ellingham is a fully qualified counsellor with a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and six years of experience supporting both adults and children. After a twelve-year career in advertising, she retrained to follow her passion for counselling and has since focused on helping people feel more valued and understood.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body that sets standards and a code of ethics for counselling practice. Julia works from a person-centred perspective - sometimes called client-centred therapy - which treats the client as the expert in their own life and emphasises empathetic listening and personal exploration to help understand feelings and resolve issues.

Her practice has concentrated on anxiety and depression, identity and cultural concerns, relationship and family problems, and related areas such as stress, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and anger, self-esteem and career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She offers a caring, personal and non-judgemental space where an initial session can be used to discuss needs and goals and decide whether she is the right therapist for the client.

Therapeutic approaches and remote support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action. ACT can be helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and navigating major life changes.

Client-Centred Therapy, also known as person-centred therapy, places the client at the heart of the process. The therapist offers empathic listening and support so clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and arrive at their own insights and solutions, which is useful for relationship, identity, and self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. A registered professional will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend approaches over time to achieve the best outcome.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. These options help maintain continuity of care, allow access from different locations within the same country, and provide a range of ways for clients to engage with therapy according to their comfort and practical needs.
