About Julie-Ann
Julie-Ann Huggins is a BACP counsellor who creates a warm, interactive space for people to talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. She frames sessions to be practical, helping people find solutions and small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Julie-Ann aims to help people discover more meaning and purpose and to enjoy life more fully.
She describes her work as uplifting counselling and psychotherapy that pays attention to natural life cycles and practical steps for lasting change.
Background and approach
That approach is mixed with coaching methods so sessions can include both reflective conversation and goal-focused tasks. The result is a flexible way of working that aims to combine insight with action. Julie-Ann draws on several well-known approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
She adapts these methods to each person, using the parts that best fit the issue at hand. Sessions are conversational and collaborative, not overly technical. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, eating and sleeping issues, and LGBT matters.
She also works with stress, career questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue among other topics. The listing notes five years of experience in the United Kingdom and that she accepts international clients. Julie-Ann asks people to approach therapy as a partnership.
Early sessions often focus on immediate, practical steps while also building understanding of longer term patterns. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it is often useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop more supported ways of relating to others and themselves. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and works on practical changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, styles and what feels most helpful, and will try different techniques until something fits the client's needs and preferences. That collaboration helps shape both short-term tasks and longer-term change.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from another location if they are travelling or living abroad, which supports those who need flexible scheduling.
