Julie Durmush , NCPS

Julie Durmush is a counsellor who centres her practice on person-centred care while drawing on other approaches to meet each person’s needs. She writes in a warm, compassionate way and aims to listen without judgement. Julie is registered with the National Counselling Society, NCPS, and brings six years of experience in counselling work in the United Kingdom.

Her sessions focus on what matters to the individual. She offers time to talk through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, ADHD and LGBT issues. She also helps people dealing with self-esteem, life changes and mood concerns. Julie uses short, clear interventions tailored to people’s circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Julie combines person-centred values with other methods when useful. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when feelings and connection are central. Mindfulness and trauma-focused tools are also part of her approach when needed.

She has experience supporting people who have faced workplace trauma, childhood trauma, loss and grief, and a range of mood and anxiety difficulties. Julie offers single-session options such as a life-balance wheel exercise, alongside ongoing work to build clarity and coping skills.

The therapeutic relationship is described as collaborative and built on trust, warmth and kindness. Prospective clients are asked to use the site process to start therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Julie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Julie’s core person-centred approach puts the person and their priorities at the centre. Sessions focus on listening, building trust, and responding with warmth and empathy to whatever is most important to the client. This approach helps when people need space to be heard and understood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and many day-to-day problems where patterns of thinking cause distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safe ways to process painful memories and build coping strategies after traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that match those needs. The choice of techniques is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to help people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy around everyday life.
