About Julie
Julie Leeper is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with six years of professional experience. She supports people who are coping with addictions, grieving a loss, struggling with sleep, or facing parenting challenges. Her approach begins with a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they are thinking and feeling.
Julie aims to help people make sense of difficult moments. She listens first, then works with each person to find practical next steps. That might mean talking through habits that affect sleep, naming feelings around loss, or trying small changes at home that ease parenting strain.
Her work also covers a wide range of linked concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image and chronic pain. She has experience with relationship breakdown, communication problems and the impact of addiction on everyday life. Julie keeps conversations straightforward and focused on what matters right now.
Sessions are intended to be a place for honest conversation without judgement. Julie encourages people to pace therapy to fit their needs and to set goals they find realistic. She recognises starting therapy can feel hard and aims to make the process as manageable as possible.
People are welcome to discuss practical issues and coping strategies relevant to sleep and rest as part of wider therapy. Julie works in English and is available to work with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on listening, understanding patterns and trying small, practical changes. One common approach is regular talking therapy that helps people name emotions and notice behaviours that affect sleep, mood and relationships. This method is useful for grief, anxiety and sleep disruptions because it helps identify triggers and routines that can be adjusted.Another helpful approach is practical problem-solving and behavioural work. This involves breaking down difficult tasks into small steps, testing changes between sessions and reviewing what helps. It can be useful for addressing bedtime routines, impulsive behaviours, or daily stressors that make rest harder.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice may change over time and will be reviewed together as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and support continuity when life is unpredictable. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available options before booking. Discussing how sessions will fit into daily routines helps ensure therapy is practical and manageable for each person's life.
