About Julie
Julie Golding is a BACP counsellor who focuses on work and wellbeing concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She aims to support people who feel stuck or overwhelmed and who want practical ways to feel steadier day to day. Her approach is gentle and direct, helping people name what matters and plan small steps forward.
She has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and draws on several therapy methods to match each person's needs. Sessions are intended as a space to talk through difficult feelings, past hurts and current pressures without judgment. Julie emphasises listening first, then working together to agree on helpful goals.
Julie uses ideas from attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns and from mindfulness to build awareness of unhelpful thoughts. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to identify strengths and practical next steps. This mix helps people move from understanding to doing.
People come to her for a range of issues including trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and separation, fertility and eating related concerns. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, jealousy, money worries and midlife transitions.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person. Julie encourages small, realistic changes and checks in about progress as work continues. To begin, prospective clients follow the service's start process and choose a suitable time to meet.
How Julie’s approaches fit with online work
Julie blends attachment-based ideas with mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people handle recurring relationship patterns and day-to-day stress. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions and helps people notice patterns that cause pain. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice thoughts and physical reactions so anxiety feels less overwhelming. Motivational interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and helps identify small, doable steps when motivation is low.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie discusses options at the start and adapts methods based on a person's goals, preferences and what feels most useful in practice. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy schedule and avoid travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight and make it simpler to bring practical materials into a session, such as worksheets or guided mindfulness exercises.
