Julie Golding, BACP

Julie Golding is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood, and she supports those coping with life changes. Julie is also experienced with trauma and abuse, and with issues around self-esteem and motivation.

She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they need to. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person in front of her and on small, practical steps that feel achievable. Julie balances listening with gentle challenges to help people move forward.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current feelings. She also uses mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set realistic goals and to build momentum for change.

Julie describes therapy as a partnership. She supports and empowers clients as they take steps toward a happier life. The emphasis is on practical progress alongside understanding the roots of difficult feelings.

Julie holds BACP which denotes registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in English and accepts clients from within the United Kingdom and internationally, and she can explain the next steps when someone is ready to begin.

How Julie's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings now. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in how people relate and to practise different responses in day-to-day life. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and increase calm; these skills can be practised between sessions and reviewed during meetings. Motivational interviewing focuses on what matters to the person and on building the confidence to change, using short conversations that help identify next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Julie works collaboratively to choose methods that fit someone’s goals, needs and preferences. She will check in regularly and adapt the mix of listening, reflection and practical tasks so the work stays useful and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It also lets people practise skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into sessions for discussion.
