About Julie

Julie Donnelly helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression and major life changes. She also supports issues around autism and Asperger Syndrome, communication problems, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife transitions and building self-love. Julie is named up front so visitors know who they are reading about.

She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and listens closely to each person's story. Sessions are collaborative - the client sets the pace and Julie offers questions, reflections and practical ideas to try between meetings.

Background and approach

Conversations are plain and straightforward rather than full of jargon. Julie draws on several counselling approaches to suit different needs. She uses client-centred methods to create a respectful, accepting space.

Cognitive behavioural techniques can help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts. Other influences include psychodynamic and Jungian ideas and Internal Family Systems perspectives to look at inner parts and patterns. With three years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Julie blends theory with simple, everyday practice.

She explains options and works with people to choose what fits their situation. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and French and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Information about cost appears during the subscription process, which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Approaches to online counselling and how they help

Julie often uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions; it suits those who need a supportive space to talk through feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is another approach she draws on and it helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change patterns.

Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process. Julie discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time so the work matches what feels helpful. The plan is agreed together rather than imposed by the therapist.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and reading visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break from work. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make therapy easier to schedule and maintain alongside everyday life.
