About Julie

Julie Stevens is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people facing difficulties with sleep, eating, addiction, parenting and major life changes. Julie holds BACP registration and brings a practical, person-focused way of working to sessions.

Julie aims to make each session straightforward and calm. She creates an open space where clients can say what they are feeling without judgement. Conversations focus on the issues the client brings and on small, practical steps they can try between sessions.

Her background includes four years of professional therapeutic work combined with long experience as a mental health nurse. That experience informs her approach to stress, mood swings and coping with loss. She draws on this background when helping people identify patterns and find what helps them day to day.

Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to the client. Julie listens closely and reflects what she hears so clients can see things more clearly. Where useful, she works with goals that are realistic and achievable in everyday life.

People come to Julie for help with both immediate problems and longer term struggles. She supports those who want to build confidence, manage strong emotions, or adjust to life changes. If you are unsure how to begin, she encourages a short initial step to see if the approach feels right.

Client-centred support offered online

Julie works from a client-centred perspective that focuses on the person's own experience and choices. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting back what is said, and helping people identify the changes they want to make. It can help with anxiety, low mood, grief and difficulties with confidence by giving people space to make sense of their feelings.

Her background as a mental health nurse also shapes how she supports people who are coping with stress, mood swings or complicated life events. That experience means she often pays attention to practical day-to-day coping strategies as well as emotional exploration.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods and goals feel most useful. Clients and Julie plan the pace and focus together, and they adjust the approach as needs and priorities change.
