Julie James , BACP

Julie James is a therapist who combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with a humanistic, person-centred approach to support people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes. She has also studied Transactional Analysis to deepen her understanding of how people relate to one another, and she draws on these methods together to tailor treatment to each person's unique situation. Julie brings three years of clinical experience working with clients on bereavement and loss, confidence building, coping with life transitions, ADHD, panic and self-love concerns.

She practices with empathy and congruence, treating each person with respect and compassion. Julie uses an integrative method that adapts evidence-based techniques to the needs and goals presented in therapy, aiming to help clients build practical skills and greater self-understanding. As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - she follows recognised standards of practice.

Julie welcomes clients who are ready to take a first step toward change and offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space as they work toward clearer direction and improved wellbeing.

Practical approaches for online therapy and lasting change

Julie integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and a person-centred humanistic approach in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for managing anxiety, panic and stress. The person-centred approach emphasises empathy, respect and the client’s own resources, helping people build self-esteem and find direction during life transitions. She has also studied Transactional Analysis, which explores patterns in how people relate to others and can be helpful for improving communication and interpersonal understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to support progress in a way that feels comfortable and realistic.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - allowing clients to access support from home or elsewhere. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity through life changes, and to receive consistent care from licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt methods to each person’s circumstances.
