About Julie
Julie Lea is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem difficulties, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting strains, grief, and related issues. Sessions are guided by the client's wishes and feelings.
Julie uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client's perspective central. She listens without directing the conversation and supports people to find their own solutions. That style is suited to people who want a straightforward, non-directive space to think things through.
Her past roles include work in residential settings, schools and charity services. Those environments have informed practical skills for working with trauma, self-harm, eating difficulties and confidence issues. She also has experience with adoption and foster care, attachment concerns and caregiver stress.
Julie describes her way of working as honest and open, with the therapeutic relationship forming the basis for sessions. She aims to help people build strategies and strength as they work on specific problems such as sleep, eating, coping with change or career challenges.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and practises under UK law. Sessions are conducted in English. If a reader wants to proceed they should confirm current session formats before booking.
How sessions work
Person-centred work and online counselling
Julie's main approach is client-centred therapy. That means sessions focus on the client's priorities and feelings, with the counsellor following the client's lead. This approach helps people who want to talk things through and find their own solutions for issues such as anxiety, grief, relationship stress and parenting struggles.Her background also includes practical experience in residential, school and charity settings. That experience informs how she listens for trauma, self-harm and eating-related concerns, and how she helps people build small strategies to manage day-to-day life. The aim is to work together to identify what feels most useful and to adjust the way forward as the client's needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people choose online sessions to fit therapy into a busy week, to have shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or to avoid travel when time is limited. The therapist will discuss which approach and format best fit the client's goals and circumstances in the first meetings.
