I’m Julia Fry (she/her), and I offer counselling and psychotherapy for adults online via Zoom. I work in a warm, open, and neurodivergent-affirming way — helping people process life experiences in ways that work for them.
I support ND clients in designing a life that works for them, not against them. I can include blended coaching and therapy, depending on your comfort and needs. I blend listening, reflecting, and offering — to support your exploration in a way that feels affirming, respectful, and safe.

Art therapy is a powerful and reflective process that encourages creativity and exploration of our inner worlds. The freedom of art-making bypasses the limitations of verbal language, allowing for a healing and instinctual experience. Through art, communication is enriched, and emotions find a new avenue of expression. Art therapy invites you to experiment without the need for prior artistic expertise. We can move between art therapy and talking therapy, depending on what feels right in the moment. There is no pressure to use art materials.

My clients are thoughtful individuals who value depth and reflection. Many have lived through trauma, loss, or periods of profound transition, and now seek not quick solutions but sustained psychological work. They are drawn to therapy as an ongoing investment in awareness, relationship, and inner freedom — a confidential space to explore complexity, rediscover meaning, and live with greater authenticity and emotional depth. This is a process for those who wish to engage seriously with themselves and create lasting transformation at the deepest levels of experience, where real change becomes possible.

I work with adults who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure how to make sense of what is going on for them. Some are navigating grief or loss, struggling with low self-esteem, or feeling stuck in ways that are hard to shift. Others may notice patterns in how they think, feel, or relate to others that they find difficult to understand or change.
Some people come with a clear reason for seeking therapy, while others arrive with a more general sense that something is not quite right. Whatever brings you, therapy can offer space to begin understanding your experiences and how they are affecting you.

We all need someone to talk to in confidence. You might be down, anxious, sad, rejected, confused, bereft, angry or struggling with something or someone. Life today is so frantic and demanding that it’s hard to find somewhere to talk where you don’t feel judged or criticised.
I am an experienced integrative Humanistic Psychotherapist and Counsellor, also a life coach with many trainings, including CBT. I believe being listened to, understood, and supported can help you deal with your problems. Sometimes you just need some space, some encouragement, even a gentle challenge, to make significant changes in your life.

Find more access to that inner voice that seems to know what you really need, deep inside?

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in ways they cannot fully explain. They may find themselves caught in self-criticism, emotionally shut down, overwhelmed in relationships, or repeating patterns that no longer feel workable.
I work relationally and place importance on what happens in the here and now between therapist and client. Often the ways we learned to protect ourselves in earlier relationships continue into adult life, even when they begin to limit us. Therapy can become a place to notice these patterns more clearly and experiment with different ways of relating to ourselves and others.
