About Julia
Julia Garnham is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society - NCPS. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood or big life changes. Julia aims to make therapy straightforward and understandable for worried parents and busy people.
Julia uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current needs.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, manageable changes. She also uses client-centred methods to make sessions person-led and hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques for relaxation when these fit a person’s goals. Her practice includes helping people with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping after separation or loss.
She also supports those facing issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image and caregiver stress. Phobias are listed among the areas she works with and can be discussed in assessment. Julia has four years of experience working with people from varied backgrounds.
She keeps language plain and uses creative options like journaling or drawing when they help someone express difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding what has led someone to feel stuck. People can expect a collaborative style where goals are set together.
Julia encourages small experiments between sessions and tailors methods as progress is seen, aiming for steady, manageable change.
Practical approaches you can use online
Julia commonly draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and ways of relating. This approach helps when patterns of closeness or distance cause distress and is useful for talking through fears around connection.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. CBT is helpful for anxiety, low mood and many everyday problems because it gives concrete strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will choose or blend methods that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process that changes as progress is made.
Online therapy gives flexibility so people can fit sessions around family and work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make regular therapy easier to maintain and adapt as life changes.
