About Julie

Julie Stevens BACP offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She helps with relationship and intimacy questions, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, career changes, and coping with life transitions. Julie also lists a focus on ageing and geriatric issues and on caregiver stress. She works in English and can take international clients. Julie creates an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through whatever is on their mind. She draws on a client-centred way of working, which means conversations follow the person’s priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Sessions aim to build understanding, confidence and practical steps people can try between meetings. Her profile notes four years of professional therapeutic experience and a background as a mental health nurse with over 20 years in the field. That nursing experience informs how she understands long-term health concerns, chronic illness and the pressures placed on carers. People who choose Julie can expect calm listening, reflective questions and encouragement to find their own solutions. She supports exploration of past hurts, current stresses and patterns that keep causing problems. Work together may include small practical tasks to test new ways of coping. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book according to the therapist’s schedule. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred work translates to online help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the person’s agenda. The counsellor reflects back what is said, helps clarify priorities and supports people to make choices that feel right for them. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, grief and self-esteem work where personal understanding and acceptance matter.

Julie’s nursing background brings additional perspective on long-term health, chronic conditions and carer stress. That experience can be woven into sessions to address practical challenges and emotional strain alongside therapy. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative - the counsellor and client review what feels most helpful and adjust over time.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier. It can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to keep regular appointments around work or caring commitments. The exact session formats available are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help you weigh up format choices and tailor sessions to your goals and routine.
