About Julie
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience working with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression and life changes. Julie Donnelly works in English and French and uses a mix of talking therapies to help people facing common life pressures.
She focuses on practical conversations about what feels difficult right now. Sessions look at thoughts and behaviours, personal history, and inner parts people name or notice. Julie uses Client-Centred ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic thinking to help people understand patterns and try different responses.
Julie pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions of life purpose. She also has a stated focus on autism and Asperger Syndrome and supports people exploring their sense of self and self-love. Work can involve looking at midlife transitions and coping strategies for change.
Sessions combine listening and reflection with concrete steps to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioural tools may be used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviours. Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas can help trace how earlier experiences influence present responses.
Her approach is collaborative: clients decide the pace and focus. The first meetings typically establish goals and what a useful step forward would look like. Practical arrangements such as language and scheduling are agreed before sessions begin.

How these approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It works well for exploring feelings, building self-understanding and deciding practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers tools to test new behaviours and reduce unhelpful thinking. Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas look at how past patterns and inner images influence current reactions and can help when people want to trace repeated difficulties.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That choice is reviewed as sessions continue so methods can shift if something else appears more useful.
Practical session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist about language, timing and how you prefer to use session time so it fits your everyday routine.
