About Julie
Julie McAulay is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps those adjusting to life changes and coping with feelings such as guilt, shame, or panic symptoms.
Julie works in a straightforward way. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens, asks practical questions and helps people identify small steps they can try between meetings. Her aim is to make the first step feel doable. She acknowledges that asking for help takes courage and focuses on clear, manageable goals.
Conversations are paced to suit the individual and to make progress feel steady rather than rushed. Over her career she has supported people through bereavement and seasonal low mood, and she has helped those managing social anxiety and panic episodes. Julie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work while tailoring the approach to each person’s needs.
People who meet her can expect a collaborative tone and practical suggestions they can use day to day. Julie values honest communication and works to create a straightforward space where problems can be talked through and manageable changes planned.

How Julie works online
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different approaches with the client and choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, such as shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time, or arranging sessions around work or childcare. It also allows the therapist and client to try different ways of working and adjust the approach to what helps most.
