About Julie
Julie Durmush is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach as the foundation for her work. She aims to listen without judgment and sit alongside people as they talk through difficult feelings. Julie holds NCPS, which means she is registered with the National Counselling Society.
Her practice combines person-centred values with other methods to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help with worry and low mood, and trauma-focused techniques when past events continue to cause distress. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused ways of working also appear in her practice to help people notice feelings and improve important relationships.
Julie has six years of experience working with adults and young people from varied backgrounds. She has supported people with anxiety, depression, grief, abuse, post-traumatic stress symptoms, obsessive thoughts, and low self-esteem. She also has experience with workplace and childhood trauma and with people connected to emergency services.
Occasionally she uses shorter focused sessions such as a wheel of life exercise to map priorities and bring balance. She has also worked with Rewind Therapy methods in specific situations.
Her style is warm and compassionate, centred on building trust and understanding. People can expect empathetic listening, practical conversations about coping strategies, and collaborative planning for change. Julie aims to help people find clarity and small steps forward.
How Julie’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding and acceptance. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people feel heard so they can explore feelings at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce worry and change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing impact using paced, careful techniques.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie aims to be collaborative and will help clients decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She adapts her way of working based on what a person needs, and checks in about progress to make sure the approach remains helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm currently offered options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow follow-up work between meetings. Some approaches suit shorter practical check-ins, while others benefit from regular, slightly longer conversations; Julie will discuss what rhythm and structure might work best for each person.
