I work with clients struggling with the anxiety, loneliness, overwhelm, depression, and doubts of parenting, pregnancy, birth trauma, loss and PTSD.
I'm Julie, I offer couple and individual 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?

Do you feel stressed or worried or perhaps stuck in some way and need someone to talk to? Life can get especially hard when you are struggling but keep going, pretending to the world that you’re ok but finding things difficult or overwhelming inside of yourself. Talking therapy offers a way out of this and my role is to facilitate a safe, supportive and confidential space where you can begin to address problem areas in your life. I work with a wide range of mental health difficulties including depression, anxiety, relationship conflict and difficulties, low self-esteem, stress, burnout and bereavement.

Are you faced with difficulties, feeling angry, sad or anxious? I understand the reason you are seeking counselling may not be in relation to any specific issue. For example, you may want a safe and confidential space to explore your feelings or seek to grow as a person. It is my wish that our sessions together can help you to understand yourself better and provide greater insight and awareness of your presenting issues or life experience. My integrative training allows me to be flexible and adaptable with my approach, as I feel that therapy is not a one size fits all endeavour.

My approach to therapy is one where you can expect honesty, compassion, and real conversations that matter. I'll bring warmth, authenticity and the occasional laugh - because sometimes humour really is the best therapy. We work together as a team. I’ll support you on your journey until you get where you need to be. I’m a pluralistic counsellor which means I can draw from various therapeutic approaches (CBT, Person Centred & Pyschodynamic) to create a tailored experience that’s as unique as you are.

Many people experience emotional difficulties at some point in their life. Sometimes we feel we are ‘not right' and we don’t know why. Unresolved issues past or present can create stress, anxiety, depression and may impact your everyday life. If you feel overwhelmed, unhappy or alone perhaps talking with a professional can help.

Is it difficult for yourself to connect to your emotions and feelings? Sometimes it is complicated to find a link to enable us express freely. Unintentionally, we can create a habit in which we suppress, run away, deny or manipulate our emotions. It is normal to try to push away feelings of discomfort like stress, fear or pain; but there are tools you can learn to help you cope with these emotions in a healthy way. Instead of denying, distracting yourself, manipulating or disconnecting, you can accept, observe, acknowledge and connect deeply with your feelings.

You may have had experience of counselling or therapy , or none at all. Sometimes it is hard to make the first step into talking therapy. You may be feeling that it could be helpful to have some time to talk about what is going on in your life, about feelings of loss, unhappiness, anxiety or maybe that things are just not 'right'. Feelings of loneliness and isolation are particularly difficult at this time. Working with the right counsellor can help to work through issues from the past , present day problems or looking towards the future and what you may want to change in your life.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.

When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.

How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
