About Julie
Julie McAulay is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and supports people coping with life changes. Julie also focuses on issues such as guilt and shame, panic attacks, seasonal affective disorder and social anxiety and phobia.
Julie keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She encourages people to talk through what is worrying them and to build on strengths they already have. Conversations often include steps to manage stress and anxiety day to day, and ways to tackle situations that feel overwhelming.
Her approach treats clients as the experts in their own story. Julie helps people notice small changes that make a difference and tries to make each session useful and manageable. She aims for clear plans rather than long lists of abstract goals.
Julie has worked with people facing loss and major life changes and offers support for low mood and motivation. She often uses short, focused conversations to help with panic symptoms and social fears, alongside practical coping techniques people can use between sessions.
For someone feeling nervous about meeting new people or speaking up, Julie offers calm, stepwise support. To begin, clients select the See online therapy options button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. The subscription for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.
Approaches for anxiety and online sessions
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people recognise unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of thinking in everyday situations, which can reduce worry and social fear. Another approach emphasises behavioural steps and exposure - gradually facing feared situations in small, manageable stages to build confidence and reduce panic symptoms.Figuring out which approach suits a person usually happens together. Julie discusses goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, and then tries methods that fit the person's needs. The plan can be adjusted as sessions continue so the approach stays relevant and workable.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family routines and avoids travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session feels like too much, and it can be helpful for practising techniques in the places where social anxiety or panic occurs.
