About Julie
Julie Gregory-Bateman offers a warm, person-focused approach to counselling and psychotherapy. She uses practical conversation to help people who feel low, stressed, anxious or unsure about life choices. Julie aims to make it easier to understand current struggles and find ways to feel better about them.
She works at a pace set by the client, discussing what matters now while also looking back when that helps explain persistent feelings. That might mean talking through anger, sadness or self-doubt and linking those feelings to present-day patterns.
Background and approach
Conversations are carried out in a welcoming, non-judgemental way to help people make sense of their experience. Julie trained at master’s level and holds a Master of Science (Distinction) in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. She also has a Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy Skills and an Advanced Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Julie is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background includes roles in business management across finance, logistics, procurement and hospitality, and she often considers practical supports that might help a person outside therapy. She has additional study in dementia care and experience working with grief, ageing concerns and end-of-life issues.
She describes herself as trauma-informed and notes specialist study around sexual abuse and incest, and uses trauma-focused work alongside attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. If someone wants to explore whether she is a good fit, she asks them to start with a short conversation before booking.

How Julie works online
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical strategies for coping. CBT can be useful for stress, anxiety and unhelpful routines that make life harder.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and what feels most comfortable. They will decide collaboratively which methods to use and adjust the way of working as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please check current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can fit around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt pacing, homework and conversation style for remote sessions to help therapy feel practical and manageable.
