About Julia
Counsellor (BACP), 6 years' experience. Julia Ellingham works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, anger, self‑esteem, career questions, bipolar and coping with life changes. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client‑Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) in her practice and holds BACP membership.
Julia trained for a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling after a twelve‑year career in advertising. She moved into counselling to focus on helping people manage everyday pressures and long‑standing problems. Her background includes work with both adults and children, with a strong emphasis on anxiety and depression and on identity and culture issues. She also has experience addressing relationship and family difficulties.
In sessions she uses Client‑Centred Therapy to help people talk through thoughts and feelings, placing the person’s view at the centre of the work. She pairs that approach with practical strategies from CBT and DBT when helpful, and with ACT techniques to clarify values and improve coping. Conversations are aimed at making feelings and patterns easier to understand.
Julia describes initial appointments as a chance to set goals and decide whether her way of working fits the person’s needs. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics as a BACP member. This guides how she works with records, boundaries and professional practice.
Her style is conversational and straightforward. Sessions focus on what people are experiencing now and on small, manageable steps that can change day‑to‑day wellbeing.

How her therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they can make sense of their feelings and choices. It helps when someone wants time to talk things through and be heard without judgement.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and managing day‑to‑day problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and what feels most helpful. That discussion can happen in the first sessions and be adjusted as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, check the platform's session options before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check‑in conversations when needed, or reduce travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises from ACT, CBT and DBT for remote meetings so practical skills and planning can continue between sessions.
