Julie Jamieson , ACA

Julie Jamieson welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stuck. She writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person. Julie is an ACA counsellor with five years' clinical experience in Australia and she aims to make the first step feel manageable.

Julie works with stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She also helps people dealing with relationship strain, ADHD, addictions and major life changes. Conversations focus on what a person wants to change and on small practical steps to get there.

Her sessions are tailored to each person. Julie uses approaches that suit the person rather than a fixed formula. Expect a mix of talking, learning skills for emotion regulation, and setting realistic goals between sessions.

Julie has experience supporting people with attachment-related concerns, abandonment, family of origin issues and communication problems. She also helps those coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, separation and recovery after domestic violence.

People who prefer straightforward, compassionate care will find her style direct but warm. Julie aims to help people build coping skills, manage difficult feelings and make steady progress at a pace that feels right.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current feelings and reactions. It can be useful for relationship stress, attachment issues and family of origin concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practicing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. It suits people who want concrete strategies for daily coping. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge; it is often used for trauma and abuse-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Julie will work with the person to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. The choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skill work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between full sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family and day-to-day life while keeping focus on practical progress.
