Hello! I’m Julia and I’m a Person-Centred Counsellor, Clinical Supervisor and Play Therapist.

I am a naturally warm and caring person and I believe everyone has the right to live a fulfilled life with meaningful relationships. No matter what we have been through, it is my belief that we all have the capacity to heal. For me, the most important qualities a therapist can offer are being there for the client, witnessing their story and offering them a warm, safe, non-judgemental space.

I have worked extensively with women who have suffered domestic violence. I also have experience with working with loss, bereavement, sexual abuse, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, relationship issues. In addition to my work with adults, I am passionate about early intervention and work in schools and in private practice with primary school aged children, using play therapy. Regardless of my prior experience, I am happy to work with whatever you will bring to me and I welcome a diverse range of clients.

I hold a Higher Professional Diploma in Counselling Level 5 (with distinction) and a Certificate in Substance Abuse Level 4. I am now developing my knowledge and skills by undertaking a Masters in Integrative Child Psychotherapy after several years of experience of working with children using play therapy. I have attended numerous CPD workshops, and I am committed to my continued professional development. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical framework.
