About Julie
Julie Donnelly is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Julie also focuses on issues linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife crisis and self-love.
Julie uses straightforward, talk-based sessions. She listens to what a person is finding difficult and helps them notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Then she and the client try practical ways of responding differently. Sessions aim to be clear and focused rather than long on theory.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred methods and psychodynamic ideas. That mix means she can work on present thinking patterns and also look at how past experiences affect current reactions. Julie may use Internal Family Systems ideas and Jungian concepts where those help a person make sense of inner conflicts.
Sessions are delivered in plain language. Julie offers time to talk through specific problems and to practise small changes between meetings. She encourages people to test what works for them and to track what changes over weeks.
Julie speaks English and French. For practical next steps she asks people to use the site process to match and book a first appointment. The site subscription billing can be cancelled at any time, and session fees vary by location.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says. It helps when someone needs space to talk, to feel heard and to find their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions in the present and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.The choice of approach is a collaborative part of the work. Julie will help identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches as needed. The plan is agreed together and reviewed as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use sessions when calmer surroundings or less screen time suit them. Registered or accredited professionals commonly adapt exercises and homework to work well at a distance, and Julie will help choose practical steps that fit everyday life.
