About Julie
Julie Gregory-Bateman is a BACP counsellor with four years' experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She offers a calm, straightforward way to talk about current problems and to try practical steps that can change thinking and behaviour.
She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused work and trauma-informed methods. Sessions can focus on immediate coping - for example managing panic, worry or overwhelming feelings - or on looking back to understand how earlier experiences shape current responses. That mix of present-focused and past-aware work aims to make day-to-day problems easier to handle.
Julie draws on earlier careers in business management, including finance and logistics, to understand practical stresses linked to work and money. She also has training relevant to dementia care and hospice and end-of-life issues. This background informs conversations about difficult life transitions and planning for complex emotional needs.
Her clinical qualifications include a Master of Science (Distinction) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy Skills, and an Advanced Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Sessions are described plainly and without jargon. People can expect a conversational style that aims to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, test small changes, and review what helps. Practical options for ongoing support and community resources may also be discussed.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Julie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; this often involves short experiments, practical tasks and reviewing what works between sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns, which can help with communication, trust and long-standing emotional reactions. Trauma-focused methods aim to stabilise distress first and then gently process difficult memories when the person is ready.Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will discuss the options with each person and agree a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. That makes sessions collaborative and allows changes if a method feels unhelpful.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online session types before booking. Online sessions can fit into a busy week by removing travel and allowing shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. They can also make it easier to continue work while managing health or mobility concerns, and allow people to involve practical life tasks between meetings for real-world learning.
