Julie Little, BACP

Julie Little is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and trauma. She works with worries about parenting, sleep and eating, coping with life changes, and challenges such as addiction and compassion fatigue. Julie has eight years of practice experience and holds BACP accreditation, and she also draws on over 20 years of work supporting young people and families in education and care.

Julie takes a warm, person-focused approach. She treats people as the experts in their own lives and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with time to talk through what feels most pressing right now.

Her ways of working include client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused techniques. She also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy and solution-focused work when these fit the person’s goals. The methods are chosen to suit each person rather than following one fixed model.

Julie has a particular interest in ageing and geriatric issues alongside attachment, adoption and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing chronic illness, bereavement or body image concerns, and those living with bipolar or depression.

People often come for short-term problem solving or for longer work on recurring patterns. Sessions are framed around clear goals and practical steps, with attention to coping skills and communication. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and can then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and find their own solutions to relationship, caregiving or life-change concerns.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, actions and feelings connect. It offers practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns.

Trauma-focused therapy pays attention to how past events affect current reactions and coping. It aims to reduce flashbacks and distress by working at a pace set by the person and using grounding and processing techniques.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will pick methods that fit the person’s needs. That collaborative process may mix approaches rather than relying on one model.

The original profile does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow a short check-in during a work break. It can also allow people to meet with a therapist who has experience with ageing and caregiving issues even if they live elsewhere in the United Kingdom or internationally.
