About Julie
Julie Durmush is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works mainly with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, LGBT concerns, self-esteem and depression. Julie uses a person-centred base and draws on cognitive and emotion-focused approaches to meet each person's needs.
Julie keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens without judgement and helps people clarify what matters to them. Conversations aim to identify unhelpful patterns and small steps that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her practice mixes Client-Centred Therapy with techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She also uses mindfulness exercises and trauma-focused methods where they fit the concern. This blend is chosen to match the problem a person brings rather than follow one fixed model.
Julie has worked with adults and young people from varied backgrounds and has experience supporting people affected by workplace trauma and childhood trauma. She also has work history with emergency services and with issues such as OCD, personality disorders, PTSD, low confidence and sexuality-related concerns.
Alongside ongoing therapy, she offers single-session work using a wheel-of-life tool to highlight areas that need attention. Her registration with the National Counselling Society means she follows their ethical framework in practice.

How Julie uses therapy approaches in online work
Julie combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people understand their thoughts, feelings and reactions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive relationship so someone can talk through what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce worry and improve mood.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns and emotional bonds are central to the difficulty. EFT helps identify recurring interaction cycles and the underlying emotions that drive them so people can work towards different ways of connecting and responding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss options and adapt methods to a person's goals and preferences, so the plan is collaborative rather than fixed.
