About Julian
Julian Hart is a counsellor with three decades of practice helping people manage anxiety, depression and related concerns. He uses straightforward, practical methods to help clients reduce distress and regain a sense of control. Julian speaks in plain terms and focuses on what a person can do between sessions to feel steadier day to day.
He works from a blend of well-established approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to notice difficult emotions while committing to values-based steps. Client-Centered Therapy creates a calm space where the client’s experience guides the work. Julian draws on his wide experience to tailor sessions to each person's needs.
He offers practical tools for panic, phobias, obsessive thinking and mood problems. He also helps people facing grief, relationship strain, career crossroads and the emotional impact of illness. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and goal-focused.
Some work concentrates on easing immediate symptoms. Other work looks at longer term patterns and life purpose. Homework is common so people can practise skills between meetings.
He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Julian supports people who prefer video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, using formats that suit their daily routines.
How Julian uses talking therapies online
Julian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT helps people identify and change thought patterns and behaviours that fuel anxiety, panic and low mood. It often includes simple home tasks to try between sessions. ACT teaches people to notice difficult feelings without getting ruled by them and to take steps that match their values, which can help with grief, phobias and chronic worries.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to what is most pressing, discuss options and agree a plan together. Clients can try one way of working and adjust it as they go until it feels useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and more conversational work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, written reflections or ongoing support between longer meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel.
