About Julie

Julie Carleton is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, addictions and trauma. She also supports clients with intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar challenges and compassion fatigue.

Her style is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear talking, identifying immediate concerns, and agreeing next steps. She adapts the pace to each person and prioritises straightforward discussion over technical terms. The emphasis is on what to try between meetings as well as what to discuss in them.

Julie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps the conversation grounded in daily life. She listens for patterns that cause recurring stress and helps clients find concrete ways to change them. Work can include looking at relationship interactions, managing strong emotions, or making decisions about work and family roles.

She accepts clients from outside the UK and runs sessions in English. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

Julie asks new clients to set simple, achievable goals for the early sessions. That helps both people see what’s useful and what needs adjusting. Ongoing work is reviewed regularly so the plan can change as progress is made.

How evidence-based approaches shape online sessions

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; these are commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Brief behavioural strategies concentrate on practical changes such as activity scheduling, sleep habits and small exposure tasks to reduce avoidance and build confidence.

The choice of approach is collaborative. Julie will work with the client to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means early sessions include assessment and joint planning so the method can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many clients find remote sessions help them maintain continuity of care when life is otherwise disruptive, while still focusing on practical steps to manage emotions and relationships.
