Julia is a highly skilled couples therapist with many years of experience. She has worked with a diverse range of issues such as complex mental health, grief and loss, suicide prevention, addictions, and family violence. She has worked in a variety of different settings including telephone and online services, not for profit agencies and Employee Assistance Program. Julia is a client centred counsellor who offers presence, genuine engagement, and a deep understanding of core issues and childhood trauma that can lead to problems in your relationship.
Julia uses Emotionally Focussed Couples Therapy (EFCT). EFCT is an effective evidence based relationship therapy which recognises that emotions play a big part in your relationships. They show you when you feel your boundaries have been crossed, and when you feel hurt or unloved. They also show you when you feel appreciated, valued and supported.
Julia uses EFCT to help you focus on your core emotions so you can make sense of repeating negative cycles and patterns in your relationship. She also uses attachment science to help you understand how the love you did or didn't receive in childhood affects your adult relationships.
