About Julie

Julie Donnelly is a BACP-registered integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She brings a caring, empathic, and open-minded presence to each session, offering a tailored approach that honours the client as the expert in their own story. Julie draws on the encouragement and guidance she received from counsellors in her own life to inform a compassionate practice that values understanding and respect.

Her work is grounded in the belief that strengths already exist within each person and that change often begins with a single courageous step. Julie creates a welcoming space where clients can explore family of origin issues, communication difficulties, feelings of guilt or shame, questions of life purpose, and midlife transitions. She also offers focused support around autism and Asperger syndrome, improving communication, and building self-love.

As an integrative practitioner registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Julie combines approaches to match individual needs and preferences. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative process aimed at helping them feel understood, valued, and supported as they work toward clearer direction and greater well-being.

Approaches That Guide Online Support and Personal Growth

Julie draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape online sessions that meet clients where they are. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a warm, non-judgemental relationship and helps people explore their values, identity, and self-worth - it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms. She may also integrate elements of psychodynamic thinking to explore how past relationships and family of origin issues influence present patterns, offering context for deeper change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to clarify goals and preferences, experimenting with methods that fit the client’s needs and adapting the plan as work progresses. This partnership helps identify what feels most useful for personal growth.

Online therapy with Julie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from a registered professional without travel, allowing clients to maintain continuity of care while balancing everyday commitments.
