How Julie’s approaches work in online therapy
Julie combines Client-Centred Therapy with trauma-aware methods to make online work practical and person-focused. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens closely, follows your pace and helps you find your own answers; it is useful for low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life changes.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy where appropriate. Trauma-focused work helps people process past harm and reduce its impact day to day, while CBT offers simple tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours linked to anxiety or mood problems.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Julie will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This collaborative planning makes it easier to adapt the work if needs change over time.
