About Julie

Julie Little is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and difficulties like eating, sleeping and self-esteem problems.

She helps people talk through what feels most urgent and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps. Julie uses straightforward therapies such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused techniques to guide conversations and plan coping strategies.

Before joining private practice she spent over 20 years supporting young people and families in education and care settings. That background informs how she supports parents and carers, and how she talks about difficult life events and changes.

Julie aims to work collaboratively. She listens to each person’s experience and draws on methods like problem-solving, thought-work and emotion-regulation skills as needed. These tools are explained in simple terms so people can try them between sessions.

People often come with a mix of worries - anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or the ongoing stress of caregiving. Julie helps break problems into manageable parts and plans practical next steps. She accepts clients from the UK and international clients and works in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Julie uses client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural therapy to structure online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, which helps when talking through social anxiety, relationship worries or grief. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxious reactions and improve sleep or confidence.

She also draws on trauma-focused techniques when past events affect current functioning. Those methods help people process difficult memories safely and build coping skills for distressing situations. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist will discuss options, try methods in session, and adapt plans based on the person's goals and preferences.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel. They also make it possible for people living outside the UK to work with her, subject to scheduling considerations.
