About Julie
Counsellor Julie Donnelly is BACP registered and has three years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Julie also pays attention to issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife crisis and self-love.
Julie works in a conversational way. Sessions aim to let people talk about what matters to them and make sense of difficult feelings. She listens, reflects and offers ways to try different perspectives. Practical ideas may be suggested alongside deeper talking work.
Her practice mixes person-centred listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches. Julie also draws on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to consider past patterns and inner imagery. Internal Family Systems is used to look at different parts of the self and how they relate to each other.
Sessions are straightforward. People can explore day-to-day coping and longer standing concerns. Julie encourages clear aims and checks in about progress. The work suits those who want both practical steps and space to reflect.
She offers help in English and French. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where the person leads the conversation. It helps when someone wants to be heard and to clarify their own thoughts and feelings.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, works with current thoughts and behaviours. It is useful for addressing anxiety, low mood and practical coping strategies by trying small experiments and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas look at past patterns and inner images that can shape present feelings and relationships. These approaches can help people notice repeated themes and understand where they might come from.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That conversation guides whether more practical CBT work, person-centred listening, or deeper psychodynamic or Jungian exploration is used.
The original profile does not list specific remote session formats. Please confirm available formats before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins that suit shorter breaks or lower bandwidth situations.
