Julie Leeper, BACP

Julie Leeper is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings six years of professional experience to her practice. She has supported people facing addictions, grieving losses, sleep difficulties, and parenting challenges, helping them navigate difficult moments with care and practical focus.

Julie aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. She works collaboratively to understand each person’s situation and to develop approaches that feel relevant and manageable. Taking the first step toward therapy often takes courage, and Julie acknowledges and respects that decision.

Her practice emphasizes listening, empathy, and clear communication so clients feel heard while they consider changes and new coping strategies. Julie welcomes the opportunity to work with individuals who are ready to begin, offering steady support as they progress through their therapeutic journey.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online therapy

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical strategies to help clients manage specific problems such as addictive behaviours or disrupted sleep. These approaches usually involve identifying patterns, testing new coping strategies, and building routines that support day-to-day functioning.

She also integrates exploratory, client-centered work that helps people process grief and examine parenting challenges in a supportive way. This style prioritises understanding personal meaning and strengthening emotional resources, which can be useful when facing loss or major life adjustments.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Julie works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts methods as the relationship develops so the approach fits the individual rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy with Julie is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, maintain continuity of care, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each person.
