About Julie

Julie Donnelly is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She works with concerns like guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, and the strain that can come with midlife shifts. Julie also gives attention to issues linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems and family of origin difficulties.

Her way of working is warm and straightforward. She offers a calm space for people to talk and be heard.

Background and approach

Julie listens first, then helps clients name what matters and decide practical next steps. Julie draws on Jungian ideas alongside client-centred and psychodynamic perspectives. She also uses cognitive behavioural tools and internal family systems to help people notice patterns and try new responses.

Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs rather than following a strict script. Julie emphasises collaboration. She treats people as the expert on their own lives and supports them in exploring meaning, relationships and self-worth.

Conversations often include practical strategies for coping day to day as well as deeper reflection about long-term change. She speaks English and French and offers sessions online in the United Kingdom. Her approach is suited to people who want a mix of talking, practical skills and exploration of inner patterns.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

How online therapy and different approaches work together

Julie blends Jungian therapy with client-centred work and cognitive behavioural tools. Jungian therapy invites people to reflect on symbols, dreams and inner patterns to uncover deeper meaning and creative solutions. Client-centred therapy prioritises listening and the person’s own experience, helping people feel heard and respected while they make choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers straightforward techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how a particular approach might help. Together they will adjust the balance between talking, reflection and practical exercises as therapy proceeds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and observing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can support short check-ins, written reflection or flexible contact between longer sessions. These options aim to increase accessibility and make regular work on concerns more practical.
