About Julie
Julie Golding is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes, including concerns such as guilt and shame.
Julie invites people to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing, whether that is managing day-to-day stress or understanding painful moments from the past. She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps rather than jargon.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how they shape emotions. Mindfulness techniques are used to notice thoughts and bodily reactions in the present moment. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or needs clearer reasons to act.
Julie also draws on psychodynamic ideas to make sense of repeated patterns and on solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. In practice this means alternating deeper exploration with concrete steps the client can try between sessions.
Sessions are paced to the individual and aimed at making heavy feelings more understandable. People who feel stuck under guilt or shame will find a therapist who listens, reflects and helps plan manageable next steps.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then book a first appointment to see how the working relationship feels.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
The attachment-based perspective looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape present feelings. Online work can use this lens to map repeated reactions and safer ways of relating in day-to-day life.Mindfulness techniques focus on noticing thoughts, breath and body signals in the moment. These practices can be taught and practised during a remote session and then repeated between meetings to build awareness and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try different ways of working to see what fits. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needed.
Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the profile does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time and let people join from quieter surroundings. Phone check-ins can be shorter and less demanding on bandwidth, while video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation and practising techniques together.
