About Julie
Julie Lea is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self‑esteem, addiction and related concerns. Sessions focus on what the client wants to address and how they want to work through it.
Julie uses a client‑centred style, which means she follows the client's priorities and feelings rather than imposing a fixed agenda. She listens for what matters most and helps people talk through difficult reactions, including anger and resentment that affect relationships or work.
Her background includes work in residential settings, schools and charity services. That range of experience informs how she supports people dealing with grief, intimacy issues, sleeping and eating problems, and the effects of trauma. She also has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment issues and autism and Asperger syndrome.
In sessions Julie pays attention to the practical side of coping. She helps people notice patterns, try out small changes, and build strategies to manage emotions and day‑to‑day demands. That practical focus includes work on communication, control issues, and career or parenting stress.
Julie is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. She works under UK law and offers therapy in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service's online booking flow.
How sessions work
How client‑centred work translates to online therapy
Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following what the person brings to the session. In practice that means the counsellor helps you name what matters, clarifies how you want to proceed, and responds to your pace and preferences. This approach can be useful for anger, trauma, relationship tensions and related issues because it centres the client's priorities.Julie will work with you to identify what methods fit best for your situation. She will check in about goals, try different ways of tackling an issue, and adapt as you learn what helps. That collaborative way of working helps people test small changes and build practical coping strategies together with the counsellor.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when needed, or remove travel time so sessions are more manageable alongside work or parenting. Registered or accredited professionals can support the same therapeutic tasks online as in person, while you and the counsellor decide what form of session best suits your life.
