About Julia
Julia Harvey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with more than 20 years of professional experience. She supports people who are feeling stressed, anxious, drained, or struggling with low mood and helps them find steadier ground. Julia uses a calm, non-judgmental manner so people can speak openly about difficult thoughts and feelings.
She helps with a wide range of concerns including grief and loss, low self-esteem, career difficulties, relationship and intimacy-related worries, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Depression and compassion fatigue are also areas she works with, alongside ADHD and long term health issues. Julia also pays attention to family of origin issues, adoption and foster care matters, and ageing-related concerns. Julia practices client-centred counselling, which means she follows each person’s lead and focuses on their experience in the room.
She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed, and to build small skills for calmer daily living. Sessions combine talking, practical coaching, and reflective exercises tailored to the individual. Her approach is described as holistic; she supports people to reconnect with their own strengths and to take practical steps towards better balance.
Julia is a BACP member - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is the author of a book that describes her own recovery from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and offers a six-step roadmap for managing illness and stress.

Approaches Julia lists

Online support
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, bodily sensations and emotions without getting swept away by them. Small mindfulness practices can help reduce anxiety, ease sleep problems and increase emotional steadiness in daily life.
Deciding which approach suits someone best is a joint process. The therapist will talk about options, try things out and adapt methods to fit goals and preferences. That collaboration helps people build practical skills while also exploring deeper patterns.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy flexible and accessible. Video calls are closest to face-to-face contact, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit a shorter check-in, while live chat or messaging lets people reflect between sessions and reach out in writing. These options help fit therapy around work, caring duties and health needs, and make regular contact easier for many people.
