About Julie
Julie Donnelly is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also focuses on issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife crisis and self-love.
Julie uses an integrative approach that draws on several psychotherapy styles. Sessions are conversational and paced to the person's needs. She listens for patterns in feelings and behaviour and helps people notice small changes they can try between sessions.
She blends client-centred principles with cognitive behavioural ideas to look at how thoughts, emotions and actions interact. Jungian and psychodynamic perspectives are used to consider deeper personal meanings and recurring themes from early life. Internal Family Systems ideas can help people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts relate to feelings like guilt or shame.
Julie describes the client as the expert in their own life. She supports people to name painful feelings, to test new ways of responding, and to build clearer communication with others. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what the person needs now.
Conversations may include practical coping tools, reflection on past patterns, and short experiments to try at home. Julie offers work in English and French and asks people to use the site process to match and arrange a first session.
How therapeutic approaches can work online
Julie commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, and it helps when someone needs a steady, attentive space to talk through painful feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours together and supports testing small changes to reduce unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a blend of methods that fits the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online meetings easier to fit into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, reducing time away from work, or allowing a shorter check-in when needed. If quieter surroundings, less bandwidth, or not using video would help, mention that when arranging sessions so options can be discussed with the therapist.
