Julie "Jules" Clare , NCPS

Julie "Jules" Clare offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or major life changes. She puts the person's experience first and helps them notice strengths they can use. Jules aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward for anyone wondering where to begin.

Jules works from a person-centred stance that keeps the client's goals central. That means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the individual. She brings in solution-focused ideas when someone wants clear, short-term steps to try between sessions.

Her background includes six years working in counselling roles across higher education and caring services. She holds a Diploma in Counselling accredited by CPCAB and is an accredited member of The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (MNCPS Accred). Recent training includes trauma-informed approaches, compassion-focused methods, and coaching skills.

In practical terms Jules supports people with a wide range of issues such as relationships, parenting concerns, depression, addiction, ADHD, body image and workplace stress. She also helps with attachment difficulties, autism-related needs, bereavement and career questions. Sessions aim to be empathic and non-judgemental while focusing on what the person wants to change.

Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. Clients can expect to talk through feelings, try small experiments or breathing and somatic exercises, and agree clear next steps. The emphasis is on building confidence and practical coping, so people can reconnect with what matters to them.

How Jules uses different approaches in online therapy

Julie commonly draws on person-centred work and emotionally-focused ideas to help people name and process difficult feelings. Person-centred work involves listening closely and following what the person says matters most, while emotionally-focused work helps identify patterns in attachment and closeness that affect relationships.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, practical goals and agree small steps between sessions. These techniques suit people who want concrete changes quickly, such as improving sleep routines or managing anxious moments. Somatic and trauma-focused elements are included when physical sensations or past trauma affect day-to-day life, for example through grounding or breath-based exercises.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jules will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as needs and goals change. Clients are invited to give feedback and try different ways of working until they find the best fit.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful when people want face-to-face contact, phone calls work well for lower bandwidth or when being off camera helps, and messaging can suit quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
