About Julie
Julie Jamieson is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions and depression. Julie aims to make first sessions straightforward and practical so people can decide if the approach feels right.
Julie uses clear, structured methods in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tries different ways of responding. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small, doable changes might help day to day.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thinking patterns and on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship dynamics. Client-Centred Therapy informs how she listens and organises sessions, while techniques from DBT and EMDR are available when relevant. These methods are used in ways that suit each person’s goals and comfort level.
Julie often supports people managing life transitions, communication problems, caregiver stress and chronic health challenges. She also helps with deeper issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds and family of origin concerns. Sessions keep to concrete steps and practice between meetings when that will help progress.
People who prefer straightforward, skills-focused work will recognise the focus on practical change. To start, Julie asks a few questions about current concerns and goals so sessions can begin with a clear plan.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Julie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternative responses. CBT sessions tend to be practical, with exercises and homework to try between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current reactions; this can help with relationship stress and attachment issues.She aims to work collaboratively to choose the best approach. The therapist and client review goals together and decide whether CBT, attachment work or elements from client-centred practice or DBT are most suitable. That decision can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.
If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use practical tools at home during a session, such as doing an in-the-moment breathing practice or going through worksheets together. Appropriately qualified therapists will discuss which approach and session rhythm suit your goals when you first meet.
