Julia Harvey, BACP

Julia Harvey is a United Kingdom based BACP-accredited therapist with more than 20 years of clinical practice, helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, long-term health challenges and career difficulties. She blends holistic health counselling and coaching to support clients who feel out of balance, exhausted, or overwhelmed by persistent physical or emotional concerns, working to restore energy and motivation through tailored, person-focused care.

Julia creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients are encouraged to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She supports people to reconnect with their intuition and personal strengths, empowering them to take practical steps toward renewal and increased self-agency. Her approach is collaborative and curious - she walks alongside clients as they become investigators of their own experience and architects of meaningful change.

Alongside her clinical work, Julia is the author of a book published in March 2025 titled The Way of the Boomerang; My Journey to ReBalance My Health with a Roadmap to Navigate Yours. The book, part memoir and part guide, reflects her personal recovery from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and offers a Six Ways Roadmap for readers facing illness, stress or life transitions. For those ready to begin, Julia offers therapeutic support designed to help regain balance and move forward with renewed clarity.

Client-centered and mindfulness approaches for online care

Julia uses client-centered therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of the work, creating space for individuals to explore concerns such as anxiety, grief, low energy and relationship challenges while being met with empathic, non-directive support. This approach helps clients build self-understanding and confidence in their own decisions.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help people develop present-moment awareness and practical coping strategies for stress, intrusive thoughts and emotional overwhelm. Mindfulness techniques can support better regulation of mood and attention and are often useful alongside other therapeutic tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julia works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She guides exploration of options and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Julia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or work, reduce travel time and allow ongoing support that adapts to changing schedules and practical needs.
