Julie James, BACP

Julie James is a therapist who combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and person-centred, humanistic counselling to support people through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and significant life changes. She has also studied Transactional Analysis to deepen her understanding of how people relate to one another, and applies those insights alongside other evidence-based techniques to meet each client’s unique needs. Julie brings three years of practical experience working with bereavement and loss, and she has helped clients build confidence when facing transitions and new challenges.

Known for a warm, empathetic and respectful approach, Julie aims to be genuine and present with every client. She works integratively, selecting methods that suit a person’s situation rather than following a single rigid model. Julie holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She is committed to supporting people who are taking that first courageous step toward greater wellbeing, offering practical tools and compassionate guidance along the way.

Integrative approaches for effective online support

Julie James draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and person-centred, humanistic counselling to help clients manage symptoms and build practical coping skills. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers structured strategies to reduce anxiety, manage panic and address unhelpful thinking patterns. Person-centred counselling emphasises empathy, acceptance and the client’s own resources, creating a supportive space for exploring self-esteem, life purpose and grief. She has also studied Transactional Analysis to better understand how interpersonal patterns shape relationships and communication.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey. Julie works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Julie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, balance therapy with daily responsibilities and access support from a registered professional without travel.
