About Julia

Counsellor Julia Garnham, NCPS, has four years' experience working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She uses a mix of methods rather than a single model and focuses on practical ways to help people manage difficult feelings and situations.

Julia works in a pluralistic way, drawing on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and hypnotherapy where helpful. Sessions aim to make patterns clearer and introduce manageable skills for day-to-day coping. She also uses creative exercises such as journaling or art when these methods suit a person's way of expressing themselves.

People contact her for help after loss, during major life changes, or when ongoing anxiety or low mood makes everyday tasks harder. She also supports those dealing with relational wounds like abandonment, attachment difficulties or commitment concerns. Practical topics such as caregiver stress, body image and issues around control are part of her caseload.

Julia describes work on trauma, dissociation, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and family problems among the areas she can address. Interventions may include exploring attachment patterns, learning cognitive strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, and using mindfulness to reduce reactivity.

Sessions are conducted in English and Julia accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experience shapes current responses; online sessions can use this work to map those patterns and practice new relational responses. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the conversation and supports paced self-exploration; this helps when someone needs to feel heard while clarifying goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful cycles; it suits anxiety, low mood and many daily-life problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try different methods to see what fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk-based work, skill teaching and guided mindfulness or hypnotherapy techniques can all be adapted to remote sessions, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements when arranging the first appointment.
