How Julie's approaches translate to online therapy
Julie uses a client-centred foundation that focuses on listening and understanding. This approach helps people who need space to talk things through, build trust and decide what matters most to them.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another strand she draws on; it concentrates on emotions and attachment experiences and can help with relationship concerns and processing strong feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. The choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use approaches like CBT worksheets, mindfulness exercises and emotion-focused conversations in ways that suit their daily life.
