About Julie
Julie Lea offers calm, patient support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and a wide range of life challenges. She introduces a personal-centred style that follows the client's priorities and feelings.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling Practitioners, often written as BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
Julie brings ten years of experience working in residential settings, schools and charities. That background has given her practical exposure to many problems people bring to counselling. Julie uses a client-centred method, so the conversation is guided by what the client wants to focus on.
She emphasises a warm, honest and open relationship as the starting point for change. Together the client and therapist look at coping strategies and ways to build resilience. Her work covers common concerns such as depression, grief, addiction, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and caregiver stress. Julie also supports people dealing with career questions, life transitions and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to help people clarify what matters to them and to create manageable steps forward.
Julie welcomes conversations about practical strategies, emotional processing and goal-focused coaching. She invites prospective clients to begin by describing what they most want to change or understand.

How Julie works online
Julie emphasises an open and honest relationship as the foundation of her work. Finding the right approach is treated as a joint process - the client and therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust methods to suit what feels most helpful. The emphasis is on matching the work to the person's needs and preferences.
The practical advantages of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. Online sessions can reduce travel time and allow for follow-up conversations without the need to commute.
