Julie Kirk, BACP

Julie Kirk is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief and parenting concerns. Julie aims to provide a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and make practical changes.

Her work often focuses on everyday struggles such as low mood, sleep problems and relationship tensions. She also supports people facing life transitions, caregiver stress, and issues linked to aging and geriatric concerns. Julie is familiar with the practical pressures that come from balancing work, family and health needs.

In sessions she draws on client-centred principles to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to notice unhelpful thinking and try new ways of coping. Narrative and solution-focused tools help people reframe stories about themselves and set small, achievable goals.

Julie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients identify realistic next steps and tests changes between sessions. Conversations are paced to each person’s needs, with a focus on clarity and simple strategies that fit daily life.

People who choose Julie typically want straightforward, practical support for emotional challenges. She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma-related distress, intimacy issues, ADHD-related difficulties, and family of origin themes. The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to manage their day-to-day lives.

How Julie uses talking therapies online

Julie blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people make small, practical changes. Client-centred therapy means she listens closely and reflects back what matters to you so you feel understood and can set your own goals. Cognitive behavioural techniques help spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. This collaborative style means the plan can change as you learn what helps most.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video or who need appointments outside standard working hours. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt tools like short exercises, problem-solving, and goal-setting so they work well in remote sessions.
