About Julia
Julia Harvey offers supportive counselling for people who feel exhausted, overwhelmed or out of balance. She is a BACP counsellor with 20 years of professional experience. Julia writes plainly and works alongside people to help them make changes that fit everyday life.
She commonly helps with stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. She also supports issues around self-esteem, work and career strain, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue. ADHD, chronic illness and long-term health problems are also areas she addresses in sessions.
Julia uses a holistic counselling and coaching style. She creates an open space where clients can speak without fearing judgement. Sessions focus on practical next steps as well as exploring feelings and patterns that keep people stuck.
Her practice draws on client-centred work that follows the person’s pace and priorities. Mindfulness approaches are used to develop calm, attention and new habits for coping with stress or sleeplessness.
Julia has written about her own recovery from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and shares a Six Ways Roadmap for rebuilding energy and balance. That personal experience informs how she supports people living with persistent health problems.
To begin, people are invited to reflect on what they want to change and then take small steps toward those goals with ongoing support from Julia.
How Julia’s approach translates to online therapy
Julia uses client-centred work and mindfulness in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and following the person’s concerns so the client leads the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps with stress, confidence and relationship worries by building understanding and self-direction.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and support better sleep and calmer moods. It is often useful for anxiety, coping with chronic health issues and breaking cycles of rumination.
Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Julia will discuss what matters most to the client and try different ways of working together until a comfortable fit emerges. Goals and preferences shape the plan rather than a fixed method.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and offer a way to keep continuity when health or mobility is a challenge. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pace and exercises so therapy fits everyday life without adding extra strain.
