About Julian
Julian Hart is a BACP counsellor with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, grief and stress. He also supports those coping with trauma, sleeping problems, anger and work-related strain.
Julian draws on several practical approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). He focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and on learning different ways to respond. Sessions emphasise clear tools and steps that people can try between meetings.
He was originally trained in integrative therapeutic counselling, which means he uses more than one model when it helps. The integrative background is used to pick methods that fit the problem being worked on rather than following a single formula. CBT is used for patterns of worry and mood, and ACT is used when values and action are the focus.
Julian aims to help people resolve problems as efficiently as possible and to give practical techniques for future challenges. He offers straightforward conversations about what is getting in the way and what can be changed. People can expect short-term work where that is appropriate and longer-term support when needed.
He works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and an initial session to agree goals and next steps.
How CBT and ACT are used in online work
Julian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT often focuses on setting clear, practical tasks and tracking progress over sessions, which can suit people who want structured steps to reduce worry and low mood.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to take action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is useful when the focus is on values, meaning and increasing willingness to act despite discomfort.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julian will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and then suggest a way forward. That decision is made together and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, shorten travel time and allow regular check-ins. Some formats use less bandwidth or allow a shorter, focused check-in when that suits the person's routine.
