About Julie
Julie "Jules" Clare offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or life change. She frames the client as the expert in their own story and helps them regain confidence. Jules focuses on practical steps and emotional understanding so people can move toward a more fulfilling life.
Jules works from a person-centred perspective and combines other approaches to suit each individual's needs. She uses elements of solution-focused work to set short-term goals.
Background and approach
She also draws on trauma-informed and somatic ideas when past experiences affect day-to-day wellbeing. Jules holds a Diploma in Counselling accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body, CPCAB, and is an Accredited Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, MNCPS Accred.
She has six years of professional experience and has completed additional training in areas such as bereavement, early trauma, autism and ADHD. Much of her work has taken place in higher education and other caring roles. In sessions she aims to create an empathic, non-judgemental space where people can talk about feelings, body sensations and practical problems.
The focus is on building trust and on small, achievable changes. Clients often come with concerns about relationships, parenting, identity and the effects of trauma or addiction. Jules also supports people with questions about life purpose, career stresses, eating or sleeping difficulties and issues linked to being LGBT.
She encourages clients to test new ways of coping and to reclaim choices that feel right for them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people identify their own strengths and choices. This approach is useful when someone needs time to process identity questions, life changes or emotional overwhelm.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and work with core emotions that shape relationships and self-view. It involves gentle exploration of feelings and patterns to shift unhelpful cycles, which can help with intimacy-related issues and grief.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about your goals and preferences, and recommend ways of working that match what you want to change. That may mean combining person-centred listening with solution-focused goal-setting or trauma-informed techniques.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy days, reducing travel time and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Others value shorter check-ins by phone or audio when a video call is not practical. Registered or accredited professionals can work with you to adapt sessions so they fit your routine and needs.
