Julie Little, BACP

Julie Little is a United Kingdom based therapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and brings eight years of professional practice to her work. She supports people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, body image concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, addictive behaviours, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and a wide range of other life stresses.

Alongside her clinical work, she has extensive experience supporting families and young people in the education and care sector, which informs a practical understanding of family dynamics and developmental needs. Julie adopts a warm, empathetic stance and works from a strengths-based perspective that honours each person as the expert of their own story. She combines evidence-informed tools with a compassionate presence to help individuals navigate change, rebuild confidence, and develop coping strategies.

Reaching out for help can feel daunting, and Julie recognises the courage that first contact requires. She aims to create a supportive space where people can explore difficult feelings and practical problems, and she collaborates with clients to set realistic goals and find ways forward that fit their values and life circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Julie uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work. This approach helps people who need support building self-understanding, confidence, and practical ways to manage everyday problems.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. CBT can be especially useful for managing stress, mood difficulties, and certain relationship or work-related challenges.

For clients who have experienced trauma, Julie incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques that prioritize safety, pacing, and stabilisation while helping people process difficult memories and their effects. These methods are tailored to each person’s readiness and needs.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Julie works with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and stage of recovery. She adapts interventions over time so therapy remains practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules, energy levels, and comfort with technology. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without needing to travel, helping therapy fit into busy or changing lives.
