About Julie

Julie Leeper is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with addictions, grief, sleep difficulties and parenting stresses. Julie aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be talked through.

Julie works in a straightforward way. She listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions are used to identify small, doable steps that fit into daily life. This can help with immediate problems like panic, disrupted sleep or coping after loss.

Her background includes supporting people through relationship breakdown, issues with control, and struggles around guilt and shame. She also helps with chronic illness, body image concerns and family conflict. Julie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions around the presenting problem.

Conversations with Julie are collaborative and paced to the individual. She encourages questions about how therapy will work and adjusts the pace as needed. People who prefer clear goals and practical strategies often find this approach helpful.

Julie offers sessions in English and accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. To start, readers are invited to use the site process to match with her and arrange a first appointment when ready.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions and tackle presenting problems. One common approach focuses on practical strategies and behavioural changes, helping people break unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping with panic, sleep disruption or addictive behaviours. Another approach emphasises talking and reflection to make sense of loss, relationship issues and feelings like guilt or shame, which can reduce their intensity over time.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will listen to clients' goals, try different methods when needed, and check in about what is or isn't helping. Together they decide which techniques to use and how quickly to move forward.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins around work, meetings without travel, or arranging appointments across time zones for international clients. It also allows the therapist and client to try approaches that suit the person's everyday routines, with practical homework that can be used between meetings.
