About Julia

Julia Harvey is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She holds BACP accreditation and brings around 20 years of experience to conversations about wellbeing. Her approach is down-to-earth and rooted in listening first, so people can say what matters without judgement.

She focuses on practical ways to cope with persistent tiredness, low energy and long-term health challenges. Sessions often cover motivation, self-esteem, confidence and career concerns alongside relationship and intimacy-related issues. Julia also works with those affected by compassion fatigue, ADHD and the emotional impact of illness and caregiving.

Julia uses a holistic health counselling and coaching perspective to help people reconnect with their own strengths. She encourages clients to become active investigators of their feelings and choices. That process aims to help people regain a sense of control and balance in daily life.

Her work includes supporting people through grief and end-of-life concerns, and she draws on mindfulness and client-centred methods to guide conversations. Mindfulness practices are used to build focus and calm, while a client-centred stance keeps each person’s priorities central.

Julia has also written about recovery from chronic illness and offers a straightforward, compassionate style. To start, she invites people to reflect on what they want to change and to take small, manageable steps toward those goals.

How client-centred and mindfulness methods work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what the client finds most important, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach suits people who need space to talk through anxiety, grief or decisions about life and health.

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can help with stress, low energy, sleep problems and managing difficult emotions by building present-moment awareness and down-to-earth tools to use day-to-day.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods so they fit the person’s needs. That collaboration makes it easier to try something and change course when needed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are offered before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions so they slot into everyday life while focusing on practical steps toward better balance.
