Julie Stevens, BACP

Julie Stevens is a UK-licensed therapist with four years of professional counselling experience and a long career as a Mental Health Nurse spanning more than 20 years in the field of mental health and wellbeing. She combines contemporary counselling practice with extensive clinical experience to support people working through stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, motivation challenges, and issues with self-esteem and confidence. Julie is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to recognised professional standards and ongoing development.

Julie works to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Her approach encourages people to identify what matters most to them and to build the practical skills and self-awareness needed to move toward a more fulfilling life. She sees seeking therapy as a courageous step and aims to support and empower clients as they take those first steps toward change.

Clients can expect a warm, supportive relationship rooted in listening and respect, with practical guidance tailored to each person’s circumstances and goals.

Client-Centered Care and Online Access

Julie Stevens primarily uses Client-Centered Therapy, an approach that focuses on the client’s own experience and personal goals. In this model the therapist offers active listening, empathy, and acceptance to help clients explore their feelings and develop greater self-understanding - it is particularly useful for issues like anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and motivation challenges.

Julie’s long background as a Mental Health Nurse complements counselling work by bringing practical, experience-based perspectives to emotional and behavioural concerns, supporting clients who may be managing complex life changes or intense emotional responses. This combination supports both emotional exploration and real-world coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods and goals feel most helpful, adapting sessions to fit individual needs, preferences, and progress. She helps clients decide what works best rather than assuming a single path.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect across distance and schedules. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice contact, live chat supports real-time typed conversations, and text-based messaging provides ongoing, convenient touchpoints. These options make it easier to maintain consistent support while fitting therapy into everyday life.
