About Julie
Julie Lea is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger and related concerns. Sessions are guided by the client's wishes and feelings, with practical attention to what the person wants to talk about and work on.
She uses a person-centred approach that places the client's perspective at the core of each session. That means conversations follow what matters to the client and the pace they want. Julie draws on her background supporting people in residential settings, schools and charity work to shape how she responds in session.
Julie works with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and career concerns. She also supports people with ADHD, adoption and foster care issues, attachment and communication problems, and challenges around body image and infertility.
Her style in session is open and honest. She helps clients build practical strategies and personal strengths. Julie will discuss any worries about harm or illegal acts as required by law and work with the person to find a way forward.
People who want straightforward, client-guided counselling about anger and related difficulties may find a clear, conversational approach here. To start, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her person-centred approach works online
Julie Lea practises person-centred counselling, which means sessions focus on the client's experience and what they want to bring to the work. This approach helps with emotional regulation, anger linked to relationships, and building the person's own strategies for handling strong feelings.The emphasis is on listening and responding to the client's priorities rather than imposing a set plan. In practice the therapist will work collaboratively to identify small, practical steps and skills that suit the client's goals. Over time the pair decide what methods and pacing work best.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will help clients explore what feels most useful, adapt the work as needs change, and agree together how to proceed. That collaborative planning aims to make sessions relevant to daily life and to whatever is causing strain.
