About Julie-Ann

Julie-Ann Huggins is a BACP-registered counsellor with five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on everyday difficulties that build up over time, including stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and anger. She also supports people facing issues such as addiction, self-esteem struggles, career questions and parenting pressures.

Julie-Ann works in a conversational, interactive way. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, talking through reactions, and finding practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. She aims to help people discover more meaning and purpose as they manage difficult feelings.

Her background draws on several therapeutic approaches. That allows her to use short-term techniques when helpful, while also exploring deeper attachment and life themes when needed. She pays attention to how past experiences influence current relationships and behaviour.

In practice she blends structured tools with open conversation. That might mean learning skills to reduce reactivity, testing new ways of communicating, or using values-based actions to guide choices. Clients can expect clear, down-to-earth explanations of techniques and simple homework between sessions when useful.

Julie-Ann offers counselling and coaching online, shaped around the person sitting opposite the screen. She asks about goals at the start, then checks in regularly to make sure the work is useful. International clients are accepted and sessions are delivered in English.

How sessions work

How her approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people identify what matters to them, and take small steps that align with those values even when feelings are strong. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is useful for breaking cycles of reactivity, such as snapping or rumination, by testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new responses.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that suit those aims. That collaborative process means adjustments can be made if something does not feel helpful.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, follow up after a difficult day at work, or keep continuity when someone is travelling. Confirm the current session formats before booking so arrangements match your circumstances.
