My name is Julie and I am a qualified humanistic counsellor, with experience in many areas of counselling including trauma, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
I offer individual counselling for adults.
I have been qualified for over 10 years now and i have worked with many mental health concerns and i offer both long and short term counselling.
Since qualifying i have completed a variety of further training including CBT, couples counselling, adoption training and inner child work.
I am a qualified EMDR practitioner, and in my experience of working with various therapys i find EMDR to be the most effective for processing Trauma. I will sometimes incorporate The Flash technique when using EMDR.
My main approach is person-centred, supporting you to understand how you see yourself and the world around you. I believe that only you have the expertise to understand your feelings, and I hope to create a safe space in which you can feel accepted and understood, and talk about anything that may concern you without judgement or fear. By working in this way, we are able to explore how you feel about your life currently, and how you would like it to be.
I am an accredited member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and I adhere to their ethical framework.
As your counsellor I will:
- listen carefully and empathically to what you have to say
- provide a safe and confidential environment
- work with you to address your needs and make the changes you want
- respect your independence and individuality
I will not:
- advise you on how to live your life
- make judgements about how you live your life
- share the content of our sessions with others
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or if you require further information about myself or my counselling practice.
