About Julie-Ann

Julie-Ann Huggins is a BACP counsellor with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. She creates a warm, interactive space where people can talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgement. Her aim is to help clients find practical steps forward and rebuild a sense of meaning and purpose.

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and jealousy alongside issues such as trauma and abuse, self-esteem, grief and addiction. She also supports people dealing with eating or sleeping problems, parenting strain, career questions and changes in life stage. Julie-Ann lists ADHD, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related concerns among her areas of focus.

She draws on several approaches to shape each session. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice values and take action, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns, and attachment-informed work to look at how relationships influence feelings. Sessions are described as uplifting and solution-focused while staying grounded in everyday life.

Julie-Ann blends counselling and coaching to build a bespoke plan for each person. She helps people understand how they affect others and how their environment affects them. Practical tools, clearer choices and paced reflection are used to move towards lasting change.

Work is offered in English and Julie-Ann accepts international clients. She asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approach and online therapy that fits your life

Julie-Ann practises Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes because it focuses on action as well as thoughts.

She also uses Attachment-Based techniques to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. This approach can help with intimacy-related worries, communication problems and patterns that repeat in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie-Ann will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and easier access when regular travel is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, commonly offer remote support to help people maintain momentum between sessions.
