About Julian
Julian Hart is a counsellor with BACP registration and thirty years of practice. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by depression, anxiety and stress. He also supports those facing relationship strain, grief and ongoing life changes.
Julian uses practical talking methods that aim to ease immediate distress. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and develop different ways of responding. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make space for difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them.
Background and approach
Clients will find sessions that are straightforward and goal-focused. Julian offers tools for managing panic, intrusive thoughts and low mood. He also helps people cope with chronic pain, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
He trained originally in integrative therapeutic counselling, which means he adapts his approach to each person's needs. That flexibility lets him combine talking styles when someone needs both practical skills and a listening, reflective space. Julian works with a wide range of concerns including sleeping problems, career stress, anger and compassion fatigue.
He aims to give people usable strategies they can apply between sessions and ways to notice gradual change over time.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Julian will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. He adapts techniques over time, so the work stays relevant to what the person needs and wants to change.
Online therapy offers a range of session formats to suit different lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching and keeping progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care commitments and mobility limits.
