Julie James, BACP

Julie James is a qualified Cognitive Behaviour Therapist and a Humanistic Person Centred Counsellor who has also studied Transactional Analysis to better understand how people relate to one another. She has three years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes, and she has worked with bereavement and loss.

Julie works in an integrative way, drawing on her training in cognitive behaviour approaches, person-centred practice and transactional analysis to tailor support to each person’s needs. She aims to be genuine and empathetic in her work and treats everyone with respect and compassion. Julie holds BACP - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional credential.

Her practice is focused on helping people build confidence, manage difficult emotions and take the first steps toward a more manageable life. Julie offers practical therapeutic tools alongside a warm, supportive approach to help clients navigate change and find more effective ways of coping.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Julie draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and person-centred humanistic approaches in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change unhelpful patterns. Person-centred work emphasises empathy, acceptance and building a trusting therapeutic relationship to support self-esteem, grief and life transitions.

The right approach is explored together - Julie works collaboratively with clients and with registered professionals to identify which methods match a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process means therapy can adapt over time as priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for different lifestyles. These options make it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during change, and access support from home or work when needed.
