When it comes to therapy, the process can be life changing or sometimes just very necessary. When clients need to confront issues or make changes, this can be daunting, overwhelming or even confusing. My role as a therapist is not to judge you or tell you what to do; instead I aim to help you see your situation more clearly and guide you towards your own innate wisdom. The clients I work with are ready to embark on this inner journey of transformation gaining better self-awareness, improved self-acceptance and greater authenticity.

I'm Julie, I offer individual and couples counselling and support for life changes and transitions big and small, particularly family life and parenting. Do you struggle with feeling that things are getting on top of you, leaving you overwhelmed, anxious, sad, inadequate, unable to make decisions and not finding much joy in anything? Or has a traumatic experience left you feeling on-edge, constantly reliving the experiencing and struggling to see a way forward? Or perhaps becoming parents, or just thinking about it, has contributed to a lack of intimacy, communication and trust in your key relationships?

I have worked over 25 years with adults, adolescents, couples, and families who feel stuck in repeating emotional or relational patterns shaped by trauma, loss, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, or family conflict. Many struggle with relationships, identity, emotional regulation, or life transitions. Using an attachment based approach, informed by RECBT, systemic family therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and psychoanalytic thinking, I offer a consistent therapeutic relationship where clients build insight, process difficult experiences, strengthen resilience, and create healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

As a Psychodynamic counsellor, I work with clients to overcome issues in the here and now, as well as exploring the impact of childhood and past experiences on current behaviours. I help my clients to understand why they are the way they are, as well as providing them with the tools and support to heal and move forward – working towards self-acceptance and the realisation of their unique and valued place in this world. My personal experience has taught me that sadly few of us will escape the pain and challenges that life throws at us. It has also taught me that we don’t have to go it alone.

Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, outside of our immediate circle, who will listen without judgement. There are so many reasons why we seek counselling and for each person these reasons may change over time. Whilst counselling for one person may be about releasing and being heard, for someone else it may be to work on the past or for another to work on current challenges or towards a future goal. Driven by the nature of our work together, I employ creative and/or practical methods, depending on your preferences and what you feel you need from your sessions. As each client’s needs vary, so does the therapy that I provide.

As a senior clinical psychologist, I view therapy as a collaborative and transformative process that enables individuals to explore their identity and personal narratives while cultivating resilience and finding meaning in their experiences. Therapy is about understanding the whole person within the context of their early experiences, values and belief system. By bringing cultural awareness, curiosity, and personal meaning into the therapeutic process, I aim to create a space grounded in respect, safety, and authenticity: where clients feel truly seen, heard, and empowered to make meaningful change.

Many of the people I work with are used to carrying a lot on their own. They may feel anxious, overwhelmed or burnt out, find themselves overthinking, putting pressure on themselves, or struggling to switch off. Some feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism or self-criticism, while others have lost sight of what they need and where they fit.
Therapy can provide an opportunity to slow things down, reflect on what's been happening. Alongside practical tools and strategies, we'll explore your experiences at a pace that suits you, helping you better understand yourself and find a way forward that feels right for you.

How can infertility affect couples and their relationship?
Clients who are dealing with infertility may experience conflict and communication problems. It’s not unusual for shame, blame, and guilt to arise in cases of infertility, whether the source of the problem is one partner or both. This means that clients are upset and pulling away from their partner just when they need them the most. Some clients may find it difficult to spend time around friends and family who are pregnant. Friends and family can also make hurtful comments that increase tension during this time.
How does therapy for infertility issues work?
The therapist will begin by gathering information about the client or couple and make a treatment plan for their specific concerns. In addition to addressing common mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma reactions or PTSD, therapists can help clients improve their decision-making and deal with stressors unique to infertility. Some examples include coping with the “two-week wait” before a pregnancy test, the distress associated with a failed attempt or miscarriage, and the shame and blame sometimes associated with reproductive concerns.
What type of therapy is best for infertility issues?
Many therapists offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are dealing with infertility issues. Some helpful therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can aid clients in reframing negative thoughts about their situation. Expressive writing and art therapy can help clients process difficult feelings. Clients might also benefit from group therapy to experience support from others who are dealing with the same problems.
How long does therapy for infertility issues take?
There is no set length for therapy that addresses infertility or reproductive concerns. Some clients might find it helpful to continue therapy during their pregnancy to have healthy ways to cope with any associated stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. Some clients who decide not to pursue fertility treatments might benefit from the support of a therapist. The duration of therapy varies depending on the individual client’s specific needs and goals.
