Julie Storr, BACP, NCPS

Julie Storr is a United Kingdom based integrative counsellor who values city life and human connection. She combines a decade of therapeutic experience with a 25-year background in hospitality management, giving her a practical understanding of the pressures that come from juggling full-time work, running a business, and managing a home. This lived experience informs a down-to-earth approach that aims to help clients make tangible changes to improve daily life.

As an integrative trained counsellor, Julie has explored a range of therapeutic models and draws on elements from different approaches to shape a way of working that fits each individual. She is registered with recognised professional bodies, holding BACP and NCPS credentials, which reflect her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Julie works with a broad set of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships and intimacy, self-esteem, depression, LGBT matters, family and grief, career and life transitions. She also offers specialist support for areas such as BDSM and kink, fertility and postpartum issues, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and end-of-life and hospice related matters.

Julie encourages prospective clients to make initial contact for a short conversation to assess fit and agree a plan. She aims to create an open, collaborative space where practical steps and personal values guide the work together.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Julie uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective and values guide the work. This approach helps people who want a supportive relationship to explore identity, relationships, and life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours - it can be effective for anxiety, depression, and practical coping skills. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and achievable steps, helping clients build momentum toward clear goals and immediate changes.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each client to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor a blend of methods that feels right for them. This collaborative planning helps ensure the work stays relevant and actionable.

Online therapy with Julie can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without the need to travel, and they allow therapy to fit more naturally into busy or changing lives.
