About Julie
Counsellor Julie Carleton is a BACP member with 14 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, family conflict, grief and loss, and issues such as depression, addictions and bipolar. Sessions also cover intimacy, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem, career concerns and compassion fatigue.
Julie focuses on practical conversation. She listens to what matters most and talks through real-life steps people can try between meetings. She adapts the pace to each person and pays attention to how problems affect everyday life.
Her background includes many years of client work across common mental health and relationship concerns. That work has involved supporting people through loss, helping them manage strong emotions, and addressing patterns that create repeated conflict or distress.
In sessions Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand feelings and responses. She emphasises clear goals and simple strategies that can be practised outside sessions. The emphasis is on what changes can be tried and checked over time.
People considering counselling are invited to think about what they want to address and how quickly they wish to work on it. Julie helps set a practical plan in early meetings and reviews progress regularly. This approach aims to make each session purposeful and relevant.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in clear, practical ways. One approach focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and on testing small changes to see what helps. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems. Another approach looks at feelings and experiences around loss and relationship patterns, helping people make sense of grief, intimacy issues and recurring conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss options in early sessions and will help decide what to try based on the person’s goals and preferences. The plan is reviewed as work progresses so the approach can be adjusted if needed.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker access from different locations. It also lets people choose a shorter check-in when needed or avoid being on camera for the whole meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these flexible arrangements, and Julie will discuss what suits each person when arranging the first appointment.
