About Julie

Julie Donnelly works with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes, using an integrative counselling style that draws on several therapies. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience. Julie offers sessions in English and French and works from the United Kingdom.

Julie focuses on practical talking therapy. She helps people talk through relationship difficulties, manage worry and low mood, and handle midlife questions about purpose and direction. She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and aspects of autism and Asperger Syndrome.

Her way of working combines client-centred listening with more structured techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy. She also uses psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to look at unconscious patterns, and Internal Family Systems to notice different parts of the self. Sessions are conversational but can include exercises and reflections adapted to the person.

Julie aims to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and to try small changes that may improve daily life. She explains ideas simply and checks what helps most for each person. Sessions are conducted in English and French and she works from the UK.

How Julie uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and experience, offering empathetic listening and reflection to help people clarify what matters to them and make decisions. It is useful for relationship concerns, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood and can include simple exercises to try between sessions.

Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas pay attention to recurring patterns and underlying feelings that influence current behaviour. These approaches can help people understand why certain relationship or life patterns keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and adapt methods as understanding grows. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and making it easier to attend from different locations. The biography does not specify which session formats are provided, so please confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they reduce travel time, allow a quieter check-in during a lunch break, or avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting.
