About Julian
Julian Hart is a counsellor who prioritises a warm, client-centred way of working. He focuses on helping people make sense of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship or family strain. Julian aims to help clients feel more able to cope and regain a sense of control in everyday life.
He draws on three decades of experience in counselling and psychotherapy. That experience informs a practical approach: creating simple tools and steps a person can use between sessions. Julian wants therapy to feel positive and affirming, not confusing or overwhelming.
Julian trained originally in integrative therapeutic counselling, which means he uses a range of models to suit the person in front of him. He also practises Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps with patterns of thinking and behaviour linked to depression, panic, obsessive-compulsive symptoms and many anxiety problems.
His work covers a broad set of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, chronic pain and illness, guilt and shame, and questions of life purpose.
Sessions aim to be collaborative. Julian listens first, then helps people identify small, useful steps. The emphasis is on realistic goals and tools that fit everyday life rather than long, technical explanations.
How Julian's approaches can work online
Julian uses a client-centred way of working that starts with careful listening and joining with what matters to the person. This approach focuses on understanding the client's experience and helping them set goals that feel important and manageable.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. ACT can help with worries and life changes, while CBT is often useful for panic, obsessive thoughts and unhelpful routines.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Julian will discuss each method and work with the client to decide what seems most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. The choice can change as therapy progresses, and the counsellor will adapt what they do in response to feedback.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions more easily around work and family life, reducing travel time and making it simpler to keep regular appointments.
