About Julie

Julie Little is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems and relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, addiction concerns and self-esteem issues. Her approach aims to be warm and straightforward so people feel understood when they first reach out.

Julie believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the work. She uses that starting point to build practical steps forward. Her style is caring and down-to-earth rather than clinical, and she aims to make sessions feel like a calm space to think things through.

Her background includes eight years of clinical experience plus over 20 years supporting young people and families in education and care settings. That combined experience informs how she responds to family stress, bereavement and attachment questions.

Julie draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs, including client-centred listening and structured techniques when helpful. She encourages clients to set clear goals and to try small, manageable changes between meetings.

People who come for support can expect a respectful and steady presence, and practical tools to manage sleep, emotional pain and day-to-day pressures. Julie welcomes conversations about what someone needs and works collaboratively to shape the work.

How Julie's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The counsellor offers non-judgemental understanding so people can explore feelings and priorities at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and will suggest options rather than imposing a plan. That collaborative process helps decide whether listening-focused work or skills-based CBT will suit each stage of progress.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow people to meet from their daily routines. Some formats suit shorter check-ins or phone conversations, while others allow face-to-face style meetings when people prefer to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can advise which format best supports sleep, stress and emotional work while fitting around work, caregiving and other commitments.
