Julia Garnham, NCPS

Julia Garnham is a fully qualified counsellor who is registered with NCPS, a professional registration that reflects her formal training and practice. She focuses on supporting people dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD), anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and relationship difficulties, offering a calm and compassionate presence throughout the therapeutic process.

Working from a pluralistic perspective, she adapts her approach to fit each person she meets rather than applying a single method to everyone. This means sessions can draw on different therapeutic tools tailored to the client’s needs, preferences and goals, with an emphasis on collaboration and practical support.

When appropriate, Julia includes creative techniques such as art or journaling to help express and process emotions that can be hard to put into words. She also brings a background in hypnotherapy to her practice, using relaxation and guided imagery as options for deeper calm and reflective work when they suit a client’s aims.

Julia aims to combine empathy and practical techniques to help people move forward. She welcomes questions about whether her approach might be a good fit and invites prospective clients to explore options together.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Julia combines several established approaches to meet a range of needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating and early bonds to help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and longstanding attachment wounds, offering a way to understand how past connections shape current reactions. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, using empathic listening and acceptance to help individuals clarify feelings, build self-understanding and strengthen self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood and to develop practical coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Julia will work with each person to discuss what feels most relevant, try suitable techniques, and adjust the plan over time based on progress, goals and personal preference, drawing on different methods when helpful.

Online therapy with Julia is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or mobility needs. These options support continuity of care across locations and schedules, offering flexible access to a registered professional and a consistent therapeutic relationship.
