Julie Storr, BACP, NCPS

Julie Storr enjoys city life and values the energy of human connection. After 25 years in hospitality management she developed a deep understanding of the pressures that come from juggling full-time work while running a business and a home. This background informs a practical, empathetic approach to counselling that focuses on making life more manageable and meaningful.

She practices as an integrative trained counsellor, which means she has studied a range of therapeutic methods, including CBT and psychodynamic approaches, and selects techniques from different models to suit each person’s needs. Julie aims to create an open space where client and counsellor can explore what is happening and identify realistic ways to change patterns that cause distress.

Prospective clients are invited to make initial contact for a brief conversation to see if they feel comfortable working together and to discuss next steps. Julie holds BACP and NCPS credentials, indicating recognised professional membership and training in counselling and psychotherapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Julie Storr

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. It is useful for people seeking to explore identity, self-esteem, relationships, and life direction because the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to problems like anxiety, low mood, and stress. It typically involves practical strategies and short-term exercises that support clearer thinking and more effective coping.

Solution-Focused Therapy is a brief, goal-oriented approach that concentrates on strengths and small achievable changes. It can be effective when clients want fast, practical progress on specific issues such as relationship patterns or managing life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as understanding grows.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging are all options. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and travel, and they allow people to access registered professionals from different locations while maintaining a steady course of support.
