About Julie
Julie Durmush is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and has six years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, LGBT concerns, self-esteem and depression. Julie also supports people dealing with life changes and feelings of guilt and shame.
Her main approach is client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on listening and understanding the person in front of her. She uses other methods as needed, including cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused techniques, mindfulness and trauma-focused work. That allows her to adapt the way she talks and works to the concerns a person brings.
In practice Julie aims for direct, respectful conversation. She asks about what is troubling someone, notices patterns in thoughts and reactions, and helps identify small steps people can try between sessions. She also offers focused one-off sessions using a wheel of life exercise to highlight areas that need attention.
Julie is registered with the National Counselling Society and follows their ethical framework. She has experience with workplace-related trauma and with emergency services personnel, alongside work on childhood trauma, PTSD, OCD and personality-related issues. She combines listening with practical techniques to help people untangle hard feelings.
People who choose to work with Julie can expect a collaborative therapeutic relationship. She attends to the person’s concerns, helps clarify goals and regularly reviews progress so the work stays relevant and focused.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. Online sessions using this approach let the counsellor reflect what matters most to the client and build a trusting working relationship. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions; online CBT often uses short exercises and homework to test small changes between sessions.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. They will review how the chosen approach is working and adjust it together as needs change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can fit around everyday life - it can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel, or use sessions during a lunch break. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical arrangements and help match the approach to a person's circumstances.
