About Julia

Julia Harvey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with more than 20 years of professional experience. She works with people who are feeling stressed, anxious or worn down, and supports those coping with grief, low mood, eating or sleeping difficulties. She also helps clients facing career strain, relationship struggles, compassion fatigue and the practical challenges of long-term health issues.

Julia favours a straightforward, person-centred way of working. Sessions aim to be non-judgemental and calm so people can talk about what matters to them.

Background and approach

She encourages clients to notice how thoughts and feelings affect daily life and to try small, manageable changes. Mindfulness practices are offered as practical tools to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These techniques are used alongside client-centred conversations to help with stress, anxiety and coping with change.

The emphasis is on simple strategies a person can use between sessions. Her background includes extensive work supporting people with attachment, abandonment and family of origin issues, as well as people facing fertility, ageing, chronic illness, caring responsibilities and bereavement. That breadth helps when problems overlap or feel complex.

Julia describes the first step into therapy as an act of courage. She aims to walk alongside each client, helping them become clearer about goals and take back more day-to-day control. Sessions combine practical coaching and reflective counselling to suit each person’s needs.

How client-centred and mindfulness work online

Julia uses client-centred counselling to place each person’s concerns at the heart of therapy. That means sessions begin by listening to what matters most and following the client’s pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk about stress, grief or relationship worries.

Mindfulness therapy is offered as a practical complement to conversations. Simple exercises teach noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without reacting immediately. These practices can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with ongoing health problems or fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julia will talk with clients about goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. The process is collaborative so people can try different ways of working until they feel useful.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or health limitations, and to keep a steady course of support.
