About Julie
Counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience, Julie Gregory-Bateman works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She offers people a chance to talk things through at a steady pace and to look at what they want to change in their lives.
Julie uses a mix of approaches in sessions. She listens to what matters now and what might come from earlier experiences. She helps people look at how past events affect current feelings such as anger, sadness or self-doubt, and she also uses practical techniques to manage difficult thoughts and reactions.
Her background includes a Master of Science (Distinction) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy Skills, and an Advanced Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She is a BACP member and has completed study related to dementia care and end-of-life topics.
Before training as a counsellor, Julie worked in business management across finance, logistics, procurement and hospitality. That experience informs a practical, down-to-earth approach to problem solving and life changes. She also has experience supporting people affected by sexual abuse and incest and by trauma-related issues.
Sessions are described as conversational and collaborative. Julie may offer space to focus on current pressures or to reflect on earlier experiences to better understand repeated patterns. She aims to help people reduce distress and make clearer choices about next steps.
How her approaches work for remote counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help when people notice repeated difficulties in trust, closeness or emotional responses. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It gives space for people to talk through what matters to them and to feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. That discussion is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
The biography does not list which session formats she uses, so please confirm the current options before booking. In general, remote counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins or longer weekly meetings as needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a format that uses less bandwidth.
