Julie Golding , BACP

Julie Golding is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She supports people facing trauma, abuse and major life changes. Julie works in a straightforward way and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.

Julie uses short, clear sessions to help people sort through what matters most to them. She creates a calm space where people can say what they’re feeling without judgement. The first meetings usually focus on what the client hopes to change and what feels most difficult right now.

Her work draws on approaches that look at relationships, awareness of thoughts and feelings, and practical steps for moving forward. That means sessions can include looking at patterns that cause distress, learning simple mindfulness techniques, and trying small experiments to build confidence.

Julie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and is able to work with clients internationally.

People often come for help with attachment worries, caregiver stress, codependency and relationship pain such as jealousy or infidelity. Julie also supports those dealing with eating and food-related issues, fertility and money concerns. Work with her typically blends understanding where difficulties come from with practical steps to cope day to day.

How Julie's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns. Online work can help people spot repeated relationship habits and try different ways of relating in everyday life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and sensations without getting swept away by them. It is useful for anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm and can be practised during short online exercises. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and to set small realistic goals; it is often used alongside other methods to build momentum.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Julie treats this as a team effort and will discuss goals and preferences before deciding what to try. Together the therapist and client review what helps and adjust the focus as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller discussion is needed. Phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around daily life and to keep momentum between meetings.
