About Julia

Julia Ellingham is a counsellor who uses person-centred care and evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and grief. She holds a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the BACP. Julia writes simply and directly in sessions so people can feel heard and understood.

She moved into counselling after a twelve-year career in advertising. That change gave her practical insight into workplace stress and the pull of life transitions.

Background and approach

She now draws on six years of clinical work to support people dealing with depression, bipolar difficulties and disrupted sleep patterns. Julia helps people who are struggling with relationship and family tensions, problems with identity and culture, and parenting stresses. She also works with people who have experienced trauma and abuse and with those coping with major life changes.

Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical ways to cope day to day. Her main approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Client-Centred Therapy. Julia uses these methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses and build stronger coping skills.

Initial appointments allow time to discuss needs and goals. People can then decide whether to continue and which approach feels right. Julia aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space for honest conversation.

Ways of working Julia names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Julia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking small steps towards a meaningful life. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood and difficulty coping with stressful events.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical approach that looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is often helpful for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Julia discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and together they decide which methods to try. The plan can change as needs evolve and sessions focus on what is most useful for the person in front of her.

Online therapy with Julia is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when it is helpful, phone sessions can fit into shorter breaks or when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat formats suit quick check-ins or ongoing written support. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles, and make it easier to continue therapy during work or family commitments.
