About Julie

Julie Donnelly offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also pays attention to issues linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, family of origin difficulties, guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, midlife transitions and developing self-love. Julie writes plainly and aims to make the room feel calm and steady for people who are anxious or overwhelmed.

She works from a client-centred perspective, putting the person’s experience first and following their pace. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thinking patterns, and on psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to consider past influences and personal meaning. Internal Family Systems is another approach she uses to help people notice different parts of themselves and how they interact.

Julie holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She has three years of experience in counselling work. Her background shapes a gentle, exploratory style rather than a directive one; she listens first and offers practical reflections and simple tools when they help.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters now. Julie aims to help people spot patterns, try small changes and build kinder ways of relating to themselves. She encourages honest, straightforward conversation and will work at a pace that feels manageable.

Approaches you can explore online with your therapist

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and following what matters most to the person in the room. It aims to help people feel heard and to make their own choices about change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers straightforward techniques to try different ways of responding to stress or anxiety.

Julie also uses psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to notice how past patterns shape current feelings, and Internal Family Systems to help people map and understand different parts of themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss options with clients and try methods that fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can shift as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and finding quieter surroundings that suit you. If you need a shorter check-in, or want to avoid travel, online options can help make that easier. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available.
