About Julie
Julie Leeper is a BACP counsellor with six years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are facing addictions, grieving a loss, struggling with sleep, or dealing with parenting pressures. Julie aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of that courage.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps that someone can try between meetings as well as talking things through in the room.
Background and approach
Julie pays attention to how daily routines, relationships and past experiences shape current struggles. Her work covers a range of concerns beyond the main areas of focus. These include issues around abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, communication problems and coping with chronic illness or pain.
She also supports people dealing with body image, guilt, shame, impulsivity and problems linked to separation or domestic conflict. Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and set achievable goals. She helps people break large problems into smaller, manageable steps and checks progress as they go.
Sessions aim to leave someone feeling clearer about what to try next. People can expect a straightforward, compassionate approach. Julie listens first, then works collaboratively to agree on next steps and coping strategies that suit the person’s life and needs.

How Julie works online
Choosing the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss which approaches seem most helpful and adjust as needs and goals change. Together the person and counsellor decide which techniques to try and review progress regularly rather than relying on one fixed method.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s schedule. It also lets people work with a registered or accredited professional from a different location, which can widen choices when seeking a good match.
