About Julie
Julie Durmush practices from a client-centred base and blends methods to meet each person's needs. She presents as warm and approachable and aims to make it easier to speak about hard things. Julie uses empathy and listening to help people feel understood and to begin making change.
She draws on six years of experience supporting people with stress and anxiety. She also helps those dealing with depression, low self-esteem, grief and trauma-related concerns.
Background and approach
Relationship difficulties, ADHD-related struggles, and challenges linked to gender and sexuality are among the issues she commonly talks through with clients. Julie works integratively, combining client-centred care with cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness and trauma-focused approaches. That mix lets her tailor sessions to what a person needs right now.
She also offers occasional single-session work using the wheel of life tool to help focus priorities and next steps. Julie is registered with the National Counselling Society, shown as NCPS. She follows the society's ethical framework in her practice.
She describes her role as walking alongside people, listening without judgment and offering a steady therapeutic relationship built on trust. Sessions aim to help people find clarity and practical ways forward. Julie often uses simple exercises, reflection and collaborative planning so the steps taken between sessions feel achievable and relevant to everyday life.
