Juliet Westcott , ACA

Juliet Westcott is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia who focuses on addiction, relationship strain, grief and parenting concerns. She frames therapy as a collaborative journey and invites people to name their goals and build on existing strengths. Juliet writes plainly and aims to make early sessions straightforward and manageable for those who feel overwhelmed.

Juliet has four years of experience working with adults facing a wide range of personal challenges. She helps people untangle family conflict and communication problems, and she supports those coping with separation, divorce and the emotional fallout of loss. She also works with people dealing with drug and alcohol addiction and related behaviours.

Her practice includes attention to attachment patterns, commitment issues and body image concerns. Juliet also assists people affected by serious illness such as cancer, ageing and geriatric issues, and stress following natural or human-caused disasters. First responder issues and dependent or antisocial personality presentations are listed among her focus areas.

Sessions are conducted in English and use a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Juliet describes therapy as practical and paced to the individual - short check-ins or longer conversations depending on what the person needs. She encourages people to try a format that fits their life rhythms.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a session that suits their schedule. Juliet aims to help clients find clearer steps forward, one conversation at a time.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Juliet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasise practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses focuses on building coping strategies and routines to manage addictive behaviours and cravings; this helps people reduce harmful patterns by practising new responses in everyday life.

Another approach centres on improving communication and repairing relationship patterns by identifying how people respond to conflict and teaching clearer ways to express needs. This kind of work is useful for parenting challenges, separation, and family conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Juliet talks with each person about their goals, life circumstances and what feels comfortable, and then adjusts methods so therapy fits the person's preferences and practical needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between scheduled meetings. These options support continuity of care and allow people to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
