About Julie

Julie Kirk is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and many relationship and life-change concerns. Julie aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

She creates an open space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

Julie listens for what matters most and helps set simple, achievable goals. Julie uses practical methods to tackle unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. She also helps clients tell and reframe their personal stories, so painful events feel less overwhelming and more understandable.

Motivational techniques support people who want to make changes but feel stuck. Work often focuses on everyday pressures - sleep problems, parenting strain, career crossroads and coping with change. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, domestic violence, or family of origin issues by guiding them through manageable steps and skills.

Her approach is flexible; sessions can be tailored to short-term problem solving or longer exploration of deeper patterns. Julie explains options clearly and involves clients when planning the work together.

Ways of working Julie names

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

How Julie’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s perspective. The counsellor reflects back what is said and helps the client find their own solutions, which is useful for building confidence and clarity around feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches simple, practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful routines. This approach often suits people who want clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The counsellor discusses goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. That way the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when wanting visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat or messaging is useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when typing out thoughts feels easier. These options give flexibility to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
