Julia Garnham

Julia Garnham is a counsellor who works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She holds NCPS, which denotes registration with that body, and brings four years of practice to her work. Julia aims to create a calm, focused space where people can talk and make small, manageable changes.

She uses a pluralistic style that adapts to each person's needs, choosing from several therapeutic ways of working rather than one fixed method. That means sessions can include talking therapy, practical exercises, or creative tasks such as art and journaling when useful. She also draws on hypnotherapy techniques at times to support relaxation and deeper emotional work.

Julia’s work often pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns, helping people understand how past connections shape present feelings and choices. Cognitive approaches are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to build clearer coping steps for everyday stressors. Mindfulness methods are offered to help with grounding and reducing reactivity.

She has experience supporting people through grief, separation and domestic difficulties, and with issues around body image, guilt and shame. Julia also helps those facing caregiver stress, control and commitment concerns, and the effects of abandonment or dissociation. She is based in the United Kingdom and provides services in English.

People who choose Julia can expect a collaborative process. She invites questions, tries different techniques, and works with each person to agree practical goals and next steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Julia often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This helps people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and supports changes in how they connect with others.

She also works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural steps to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT can be useful for building clearer coping routines and managing everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and agree which methods fit the person’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as the original profile does not specify particular formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or letting someone choose a session style that suits them. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt activities so they work well over distance and help people practise skills between sessions.
