About Julie

Julie Little is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and related concerns. She is also experienced with parenting challenges, body image and addiction issues. Julie frames sessions around each person's strengths and choices. Julie offers a warm, caring style that aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about. She treats people as experts in their own lives and listens first, then offers practical tools. Many clients find this steady, down-to-earth approach helps them take small steps forward. With eight years of professional practice, Julie draws on several therapy methods to match what someone needs in the room. She uses client-centred listening alongside structured approaches that help change unhelpful thinking and manage strong emotions. Trauma-focused work is offered where past events continue to affect daily life. Her earlier career included more than 20 years supporting families and young people in education and care settings. That background informs a practical, problem-solving way of working and an understanding of family-related pressures. Julie works in the United Kingdom and speaks English. She supports people dealing with life transitions, chronic stress, mood difficulties and attachment concerns. If you want a calm, straightforward counsellor who focuses on strengths and small steps, she may be a good person to speak with.

How Julie’s approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story and build on their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical steps to change habits that increase anxiety or low mood. It is helpful for stress, worry and sleep or eating difficulties. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest methods that suit you. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses. The biography does not specify which session formats are used online, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be useful when people prefer to be in their own familiar surroundings while they talk. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective support remotely, and Julie aims to adapt exercises and plans so they work in everyday life.
