About Julia

Julia Ellingham uses person-centred work as the foundation of her practice and blends it with modern approaches like cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. She aims to create a calm, listening space where people can talk about what feels difficult.

Julia is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she brings six years of counselling experience to her work. She trained for a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling after a long career in advertising.

Background and approach

That shift came from wanting more meaningful contact with people. Her background gives her an appreciation of the pressures of busy working lives and the ways stress can build up over time. Julia commonly helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues with sleep or eating.

She also supports those facing relationship and family challenges, parenting strain, anger, low self esteem, career shifts and coping with major life changes. She works with bipolar mood difficulties alongside other concerns. Sessions begin with an initial meeting to clarify needs and goals and to help someone decide if her style fits.

In counselling she listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, drawing on practical tools from CBT and ACT when helpful. Her priority is to help people make sense of their feelings and find ways to manage them day to day. Her approach is straightforward and respectful.

People can expect clear, calm conversation, focused tools to reduce distress, and time to reflect on what matters most to them.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Julia often combines person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. Person-centred work focuses on understanding the person’s experience and following their pace, helping people feel heard and valued. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and commitment therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect personal values.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Julia will talk with a client about goals, what feels most useful, and try different techniques to see what fits. That collaborative way of working helps shape sessions around everyday life and what someone wants to change or accept.

Online therapy offers flexibility and can fit into busy schedules. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face style meeting, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family or travel commitments and to use tools between appointments.
