About Julia
Julia Harvey is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with over 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low energy or ongoing health problems, and with people who want help managing anger, motivation and self-esteem.
She offers straightforward talking therapy and coaching. Sessions focus on practical steps to ease daily strain, improve sleep and rebuild confidence. Julia also addresses work and career pressures, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and problems tied to caregiving or chronic illness.
Julia uses client-centred methods that keep the person’s concerns at the centre of each session. She combines this with mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful patterns and reduce reactivity. In conversation she aims to help people notice what is keeping them stuck and experiment with small changes.
Her background includes long-term work supporting people with grief, chronic health conditions and compassion fatigue. She also writes about recovering from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and published a book offering coping strategies and a six-step roadmap for managing health setbacks.
Sessions explore practical ways to manage feelings, everyday routines and personal boundaries. Julia encourages clients to test new approaches between meetings and to build steady habits for handling stress and anger. The emphasis is on clear, usable steps rather than labels or quick fixes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Julia uses client-centred therapy to focus on what matters most to the person in the room. This approach means the conversation follows the client’s priorities, helping them talk through present problems and spot patterns that keep repeating. It is useful for stress, anger and relationship worries.She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people tune into bodily sensations and thoughts without reacting automatically. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity and support better sleep, calmer responses and clearer decision-making when feelings run high.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Julia will discuss what feels useful and adjust methods as sessions progress, making choices based on the client’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with practical exercises offered to try between meetings.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They can also let people practise mindfulness and new behavioural steps in everyday settings rather than in a clinic.
