About

About Julie

Julie Stevens is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, career shifts and coping with life changes.

Julie lists LGBT among her focus areas and welcomes conversations about sexual and gender identity within therapy. She draws on a client-centred approach that puts the person's own perspective at the heart of sessions.

Background and approach

That means Julie listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients find their own way forward rather than imposing a fixed plan. Sessions are steady and practical, aimed at small steps that feel manageable. Julie brings four years of professional counselling experience alongside long experience as a mental health nurse.

She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly about painful feelings and difficult choices. Her manner is straightforward and compassionate. People often begin by talking through what feels hardest right now.

Julie helps them notice patterns, try new coping strategies, and build confidence in day-to-day moments. Work can involve practical problem solving, emotional processing, and planning for change. If someone is thinking about starting therapy, Julie encourages taking a first small step: describing the main concern, trying a session, and then deciding what feels helpful next.

Online support

Client-centred approaches for online therapy

Client-centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The counsellor offers attentive listening, reflection and gentle guidance so people can make choices that suit their lives. This approach is helpful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship questions because it builds on what matters to the person.

Julie will work with each person to decide which ways of working feel right. Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the process and happens together, based on your needs, goals and preferences. She aims to tailor sessions so they fit what you want to focus on and how you prefer to work.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow a quicker check-in during a lunch break, or make it simpler to keep continuity while travelling. The exact session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to help people keep therapy part of their everyday routine without disrupting other commitments.
