About Julie
Julie Gregory-Bateman is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes, and also notes work around guilt and shame among other concerns. Julie offers straightforward support to help people talk things through at their own pace.
She uses practical talking and thinking tools to shift how people feel about difficult events. Sessions can focus on what is happening now, or look back to earlier times to understand where strong emotions began. That can make present problems easier to manage and less overwhelming.
Julie describes herself as trauma-informed and notes experience supporting people affected by sexual abuse and incest. She also draws on cognitive approaches when helping clients change unhelpful thinking patterns and responses. Her background in business management informs a practical, organised way of working with everyday problems and decisions.
Her training includes a Master of Science (Distinction) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy Skills, and an Advanced Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Julie also has study in dementia care and mentions experience relevant to ageing and end-of-life concerns. Outside work she is involved in local community projects and spends time outdoors with her dog, which she says keeps life grounded and ordinary.
How her approaches translate to online work
Julie combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural methods in ways that are easy to follow online. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions and can help with long-standing shame or trust issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, self-esteem and coping with change.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether attachment-focused reflection, CBT techniques, or trauma-focused methods best fit the situation. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as the work progresses.
