About Julie
Julie Leeper is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are facing addictions, grief and loss, sleeping problems, parenting stresses and life changes. Julie also lists concerns such as guilt and shame among the issues she helps people address.
She focuses on practical conversation. Sessions are a place to talk through what is happening now, how it affects day-to-day life, and what the client wants to change. Julie aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes and practice new ways of relating to guilt or regret.
Julie has supported people dealing with family tensions, separation and blended family challenges. She also works with matters tied to body image, chronic illness, control struggles and impulsivity. Her experience includes helping those affected by substance use and domestic violence find steadier coping strategies.
Her method is straightforward and conversational. Julie listens to the facts and helps people weigh options. She offers clear steps to try between sessions and returns to what is most useful in the next meeting.
People who come to her often want help making sense of what they feel and learning simple habits that reduce overwhelm. To begin, clients use the service sign-up and schedule their first session after a short matching questionnaire. Julie accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
How Julie uses therapeutic methods in online sessions
Julie describes her work as grounded, conversational and practical. Two evidence-based techniques she commonly draws on are cognitive approaches and behavioural strategies. Cognitive approaches look at the thoughts that keep guilt or shame active and help people test and shift unhelpful thinking. Behavioural strategies focus on small, repeatable actions - sleep routines, boundaries or short behavioural experiments - that change how someone feels day to day.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Julie will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and choose approaches together. The process is collaborative and adjusts as new information comes up in sessions.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy around work, caring or travel by avoiding commute time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or evening. Others prefer shorter check-ins or not being on camera for parts of a session because it can feel less demanding. Registered or accredited professionals can help decide which format will suit practical constraints and therapeutic aims.
