About Julie-Ann

Julie-Ann Huggins is an accredited counsellor and coach who creates an open, nonjudgmental space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. She brings a warm, interactive style to her work and aims to support people in finding practical solutions, increasing wellbeing, and discovering greater meaning and purpose in their lives. She encourages clients to explore how they affect their environment and relationships and to build sustainable ways of coping and growing.

Her approach, described as uplifting counselling and psychotherapy, draws on the idea that natural cycles and personal leadership interventions can help support lasting change. She uses an interdisciplinary toolkit to tailor a bespoke online practice for each person, combining methods to meet individual needs and goals. This flexible stance helps address a wide range of concerns including family situations, anxiety, depression, loss, climate-related distress, alcohol and drug misuse, ambiguous loss, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Julie-Ann holds BACP, which is membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works with people online to explore change, build understanding, and develop practical steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Julie-Ann commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, and she also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when it fits the client’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that align with their values - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships, helping people understand how past bonds shape current connection and trust, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, offering practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie-Ann works collaboratively with each person to explore options and tailor methods to match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists who can adapt their methods to an online format.
