About Julie

Julie Gregory-Bateman offers calm, practical counselling for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and big life changes. She uses straightforward conversation to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on what matters now.

Julie draws on client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience first. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and find different ways of responding. Attachment-based thinking helps when relationships and patterns from earlier life affect how someone copes today.

Background and approach

She has four years of professional experience and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes roles in business management, which shaped a practical, organised approach to problem solving. She has qualifications in integrative counselling and psychotherapy and in cognitive behavioural therapy.

Julie has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse and offers trauma-informed support for those concerns. She also helps people dealing with self-esteem issues, loneliness, life purpose, and the emotional effects of serious illness or ageing. Sessions can include focused present-day work or gentle exploration of past experiences to understand current feelings.

Julie aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space where people can consider choices and try new coping strategies. She encourages extra support when it could be useful and discusses options together.

How attachment and cognitive approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can use gentle conversation to notice these patterns and to practise new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the person’s own goals. The counsellor follows the client’s pace and helps them name feelings, make decisions and build confidence. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. Online sessions can include brief exercises, thought records and planning small changes between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will work collaboratively to choose methods that match each person’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and is decided together. Online work offers practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face to face when travel is difficult. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, shorter sessions or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside other commitments.
