About Julie
Julie Durmush holds NCPS registration and has six years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD, LGBT issues, self‑esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Julie uses a person-centred base and integrates other methods to suit each person.
Julie prefers clear, practical sessions. She listens without judgment and focuses on understanding what someone is experiencing. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then try different ways of responding. She can use single-session tools such as the wheel of life to bring focus to specific areas.
Her background includes work with adults and young people from varied backgrounds and experience supporting people affected by workplace and childhood trauma. She has worked with emergency services. Areas she commonly addresses include mood disorders, OCD, PTSD, attachment and abandonment concerns, and issues around identity and gender dysphoria.
Julie names several approaches she uses, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client‑Centered Therapy, Emotionally‑Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Trauma‑Focused Therapy. These are chosen in discussion with the client to match the concern and the way the person prefers to work.
She is registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and follows their ethical framework. Practical details such as session arrangements and the subscription model are explained when a person begins the sign-up process. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
How Julie uses talking therapies online
Julie combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a person‑centred style to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses. CBT focuses on practical steps - identifying thoughts, testing small changes and building new habits. Client‑Centred Therapy prioritises listening and the therapeutic relationship to help someone feel heard and understood.Julie also draws on Emotionally‑Focused Therapy and Trauma‑Focused Therapy when emotions and past events are central to the problem. EFT helps map patterns in close relationships and how emotions drive reactions. Trauma‑Focused work looks at how distressing experiences affect day‑to‑day thinking and coping, and at ways to reduce those ongoing effects.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Julie will discuss goals, preferences and the issue at hand and then suggest a route to try. She adapts methods as the work progresses so the plan stays practical and focused on clear steps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow brief check‑ins when needed. Registered professionals and therapists often find that remote work keeps therapy consistent with everyday life while allowing focused, structured sessions.
