Approaches that guide online therapeutic support

Julie uses a person centered approach that prioritizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own experience. This way of working helps people who need a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore feelings, identity, relationships, and life changes.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy to address the effects of past harm and overwhelming events. Trauma-focused work helps individuals process traumatic memories and develop strategies to manage symptoms and rebuild a sense of safety and agency.

For relationship and attachment concerns Julie incorporates emotionally-focused techniques to help partners and individuals understand patterns of emotion and connection and to build more secure bonds. Finding the right approach is seen as a collaborative process - Julie will work with each person to identify goals, explore what feels most helpful, and adapt methods to suit individual needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Julie is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or while on the go and allow therapy to fit around work, family, and other commitments.
