Julie Fraser , BACP

Julie Fraser is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with eating. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and changes in work or life circumstances. Julie works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, and she communicates in English.

Julie keeps sessions straightforward and calm. She aims to make conversations feel safe and non-judgemental so people can talk about hard things. She encourages practical steps as well as emotional reflection, tailored to each person’s immediate needs.

Her approach blends client-centred work with structured tools. That means listening closely first, then using targeted techniques to manage unhelpful thinking and to build small, achievable goals. Julie uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused strategies when they fit the situation.

Julie has six years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns. She has supported people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, body image and eating issues, caregiver stress, anger, dissociation, and communication problems. She also works with matters such as intimacy-related issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Julie will work at a pace that suits each person, offering ways to reduce distress and to increase day-to-day coping. She aims to help people feel steadier and more able to make the changes they want.

How Julie’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects feelings and helps people make their own decisions. This approach can help when someone needs a supportive space to talk through sensitive issues such as intimate relationship concerns or grief.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear exercises and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful patterns. CBT often suits people who want concrete tools to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to use. That choice is made together and can change over time as needs shift.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support around work and caregiving, and they can be helpful for ongoing reflection between longer sessions. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt tools and exercises so they work well in these different formats.
