About Julie

Julie Lea is a counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable. She listens to what matters to each person and follows their lead during sessions. Julie uses a warm, honest style to help people who are stressed, anxious or dealing with trauma and abuse.

She also offers support for issues such as depression, relationship strain, self-esteem and addiction. Julie has worked in the United Kingdom for over ten years in residential settings, schools and charity services.

Background and approach

That practical experience shaped her preference for clear, down-to-earth conversations and simple coping strategies. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. In sessions Julie focuses on building a trusting relationship first.

She listens without judging and helps clients name what feels difficult. From there she and the client agree small, manageable steps to try between meetings. Progress is discussed openly and the plan is adjusted as needed.

Julie can support people with a wide range of concerns. These include grief, parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to adoption or attachment. She also helps with career questions, life changes and issues of identity including LGBT matters.

Practical session options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Julie uses these formats to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments. If someone prefers a gentler pace, text-based work can provide steady, ongoing check-ins.

Ways of working Julie names

Client-Centred Therapy

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

Client-centred work and online options

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own goals and feelings. The counsellor listens closely and follows what the client brings to sessions. This approach helps when someone wants to be heard, build self-trust and work through things like anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship worries.

Julie also draws on practical, experience-led ways of working developed from a decade in residential and charity settings. These methods prioritise simple strategies and steady progress, which can be helpful for trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods to fit the person's needs. That decision is made collaboratively rather than imposed.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging for everyday flexibility. Video suits longer, face-to-face style conversations, while phone calls use less bandwidth for quicker check-ins. Live chat and messaging can be useful for short updates, reflective writing and keeping momentum between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
