About Julie-Ann
Julie-Ann Huggins is a BACP counsellor who brings five years' experience to her work. She offers a warm, interactive approach where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without being judged. Sessions focus on practical steps to ease day-to-day pressure and to find clearer meaning and direction.
Her background blends counselling and coaching so conversations can shift between exploring feelings and setting practical goals. She draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to match the work to each person's needs. This helps when sleep, stress or anxiety are getting in the way of daily life.
Julie-Ann also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships affect wellbeing. She helps people understand patterns in their relationships and how these link to mood, self-esteem and intimacy-related concerns. The work often includes straightforward strategies for communication and coping.
People come to her for many issues such as stress, grief, addiction, depression, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain and changes at work. She also supports those dealing with trauma, abandonment, autism-related concerns and complex life transitions. Sessions aim to be practical and compassionate, with space to notice emotions and plan small, realistic changes.
Julie-Ann practises in the United Kingdom and speaks English. She offers an online-focused practice using an interdisciplinary, bespoke model tailored to each person’s situation.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Julie-Ann draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with sleep problems, worry and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie-Ann will discuss options with each person and help decide which methods fit best. That choice is collaborative and can change as goals evolve during therapy.
The biography highlights a bespoke online practice but does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm the exact online options available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins during a lunch break or after work. It also means people can access a therapist from different locations, which can be helpful for those living away from local services or who travel frequently.
