About Julie

Julie Gates is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a client-centred approach to help people overcome stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She holds BACP accreditation and draws on five years of professional experience to guide conversations. Julie works with adults and supports parents and carers.

She also helps with issues linked to grief, trauma and self-esteem. Her practice focuses on clear, short-term goals alongside deeper exploration when needed.

Background and approach

Julie uses person-centred listening to understand what matters most to each person. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to help identify long-standing patterns that affect relationships and mood. Solution-focused techniques are used to build practical steps for change.

Those techniques can help with sleeping problems, coping with life changes, and managing compassion fatigue. Julie also works with people facing challenges such as ADHD, eating or body image concerns, chronic illness, and bereavement. Sessions often include simple exercises such as mindfulness and creative tasks to help people notice shifts between meetings.

Julie aims to create a calm, non-judgemental atmosphere so people feel able to talk about painful experiences or intimate concerns. She accepts international clients and offers a range of online formats to fit different needs. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.

How Julie’s approaches work online

Julie uses client-centred work to start. This means listening closely and helping you set the pace and focus of sessions. It suits people who need understanding and space to talk about difficult feelings or everyday stressors.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns and past experiences that affect current behaviour. This can be useful for relationship problems, attachment issues, and long-standing moods that feel hard to shift.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will discuss options with the client and agree on goals and techniques together. That shared planning helps shape whether sessions stay short and practical or move into deeper reflection over time.

Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for fuller communication. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing, need flexible timing, or want step-by-step homework alongside sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular contact while working on change.
