Julie Little, BACP

Julie Little helps people cope with stress and anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with eating, sleeping and intimacy. She also supports people facing addiction, career setbacks, low self-esteem, anger, bipolar and depression, and compassion fatigue. Julie’s work includes concerns linked to family life, parenting pressures and other life changes.

Julie uses a warm, caring style and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations are intended to be calm and respectful, with space to feel heard and understood.

Her background includes eight years of clinical experience and long-term work in education and care settings. This broader experience informs how she responds to issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment problems, ageing and caregiver stress, and managing chronic illness or disability.

Julie practises approaches that focus on the person and on practical change. These include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour ideas, solution-focused strategies and trauma-focused methods. She will explain options and tailor work to each person’s needs.

Julie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To start, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can make sense of their feelings and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful habits and ease symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships and coping with urges in a step-by-step way.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. It can also suit those who prefer to meet from a familiar setting or who need different session rhythms. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats supported should be checked at the time of scheduling.
