About Julie

Julie Jamieson is an ACA counsellor in Australia with five years' clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and addictions. She also helps with relationship strain and coping with major life changes.

Julie focuses on what is happening now and what practical steps feel possible. Sessions are conversational and client-led, with space to notice painful thoughts and feelings. She uses straightforward techniques to help manage strong emotions and reduce unhelpful patterns.

Her work draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy to look at how early relationships and current connections affect day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify thinking and behaviour cycles that keep distress going. Where trauma is present, she may use EMDR-informed methods alongside other approaches to process upsetting memories.

Julie pays attention to everyday pressures such as caregiving, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and long-term health problems. She also supports people coping with abandonment, family of origin wounds, dissociation, domestic violence aftermath and separation.

Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and to build small, manageable changes. To begin, clients use an online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.

How Julie applies therapeutic approaches online

Julie commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect how a person feels and responds, which can help when guilt or shame is tied to family history or connection. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising small changes to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. She will adjust the plan over time based on what is most helpful for that person.

The original biography does not list session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and can reduce travel time. People sometimes prefer shorter check-ins by phone when they need a quick session, or video sessions when they want face-to-face conversation; discuss which works best when arranging the first appointment.
