About Julie
Julie Donnelly is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and listens to what matters to each person. Sessions aim to be practical and supportive so people can take steps that feel manageable.
Julie uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapy styles to match each person's needs. She encourages clients to name their strengths and to try small changes that build confidence over time.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what is happening now and how past experiences may still affect daily life. Her practice pays attention to communication patterns, family of origin issues, and struggles with guilt or shame. She also works with people on life purpose, self-love and difficulties connected to autism and Asperger syndrome.
The tone in sessions is warm and respectful, with an emphasis on listening first and suggesting tools second. With three years of experience, Julie frames therapy as a shared process. She believes people are experts in their own lives and offers guidance to help them make sense of difficult feelings.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Julie speaks English and French and carries out sessions from the United Kingdom. People usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that suit their schedule.
The overall focus is on practical support, clearer communication and greater self-understanding.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers clear practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It often involves simple exercises and experiments participants can try between sessions to reduce stress and lift mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The process is collaborative and adjusts as needs change.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for quick check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical coping skills.
