   About Julie

   Julie Golding is a UK-based counsellor with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with major life changes and the after-effects of trauma or abuse.

   She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Sessions focus on listening, gentle questioning and practical steps people can try between meetings. The aim is to help individuals build motivation, confidence and clearer ways to manage difficult feelings.

   Julie draws on several therapeutic styles to match what each person needs. That can include using ideas from attachment-based work to look at patterns in close relationships. She also makes use of motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and solution-focused techniques to set concrete goals.

   With a background registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she combines talking, reflection and straightforward coping strategies. Julie encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels manageable.

   Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. People who choose to work with her can expect a collaborative approach that balances emotional understanding with practical ideas for everyday life.

2. How Julie uses different approaches in online therapy

   Julie often uses motivational interviewing to help people identify what they really want to change and to boost their own reasons for taking steps forward. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and encouraging small, practical moves rather than pushing advice.
   
   She also draws on attachment-based ideas to notice patterns in close relationships and how early experiences can shape current reactions. That can be useful for people who struggle with trust, abandonment or controlling responses. Mindfulness techniques are used to help calm intense feelings and bring attention back to the present moment when stress or anxiety is high.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and manageable.
   
   If you are considering online therapy, check the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist based elsewhere in the United Kingdom or internationally.
