About Julie-Ann
Julie-Ann Huggins is a counsellor with five years of experience who works from the United Kingdom. She holds BACP, which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her approach is warm and interactive and she aims to create an open place where difficult thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
She focuses on helping people find practical solutions and small changes that make life feel better.
Background and approach
Sessions often centre on improving self-esteem, coping with anxiety and depression, and managing stress. She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, grief, addiction concerns, career decisions and identity issues including LGBT matters. Julie-Ann combines several ways of working to fit each person’s needs.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and commit to actions that matter. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. Attachment-informed ideas help when relationship patterns and early experiences are important.
The practice aims to be flexible and solution-focused while inviting deeper reflection. Sessions include conversational work, practical exercises and steps to try between meetings. Julie-Ann describes her role as a coach and counsellor who supports people to discover more meaning and purpose.

How Julie-Ann works online
She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to understand how early relationships influence present patterns. That perspective can help people improve communication and sense of connection by reflecting on recurring relationship habits and trying different interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Choices are revisited as therapy progresses so the plan can change if something feels unhelpful.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using digital worksheets and tasks between meetings to keep progress moving.
