Julie Harrison, BACP

Julie Harrison is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, struggling with self-esteem or depression, or coping with big life changes. Her work also includes supporting people facing relationship strain and midlife transitions.

She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are adapted to the person in front of her rather than a fixed formula. That can mean talking through immediate worries, looking at patterns in relationships, or finding small practical steps to feel steadier day to day.

Julie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and focuses on what clients want to achieve. She aims to help people build confidence, handle panic or intense worry, and find clearer direction when life feels stuck. The tone in sessions is encouraging and down-to-earth.

Her additional areas of attention include attachment concerns, avoidant personality traits, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and coping with chronic illness or pain. She also supports people grappling with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.

People interested in working with her should know she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. Conversations begin from where each person is at and move at a pace that suits them.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach focuses on recognising and changing unhelpful thought patterns, helping people reduce intense worry and manage panic attacks by learning clear coping steps. Another approach looks at relationship patterns and attachment, helping people understand how past relationships affect current connections and communication. These approaches are practical and aim to produce manageable changes in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is discovered together. The therapist will discuss the options, listen to the person's goals and preferences, and adapt methods as therapy progresses. This collaborative way helps ensure the work feels relevant and useful rather than prescriptive.

If you prefer online work, confirm the session formats available before booking as the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during brief breaks. It can also suit people who want to focus on talking things through without needing to meet in person. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can help decide whether online sessions fit your needs and lifestyle.
