About Julie
Julie Teao is an ACA counsellor with six years of professional experience based in Australia. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Julie aims to make starting therapy straightforward and non-intimidating for a worried parent or someone feeling stuck.
Julie focuses on making the therapy space feel open and non-judgmental. She encourages clients to talk about what is happening now and what they want to change. Sessions are grounded in everyday language and practical steps rather than clinical jargon.
Her approach includes helping people manage anger, cope with trauma and abuse, and work through feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also supports people dealing with workplace issues, caregiver stress and challenges common to young adults. Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among the concerns she addresses.
Julie works collaboratively, helping clients set realistic goals and try strategies between sessions. She emphasises building confidence, improving communication and strengthening coping skills that fit daily life. The focus is on what clients can try now to reduce distress and gain a greater sense of control.
Beginning therapy with Julie involves a clear, step-by-step process. She recognises that taking the first step can feel daunting and aims to provide steady support while clients work towards a more manageable, happier routine.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online support
Julie describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. Cognitive strategies aim to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce anxiety and panic symptoms by teaching new ways to respond to fearful thoughts. Behavioural techniques involve gradual, manageable actions to face avoided situations and build confidence over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts strategies if something does not feel useful, so the plan grows from the client’s experience rather than being imposed.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and let people work on skills between commitments. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins while others suit longer, in-depth conversations, so Julie and the client will pick what fits their routine and goals.
