Julia Garnham , NCPS

Julia Garnham is a qualified counsellor registered with the NCPS, a professional credential indicating registration in counselling. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem difficulties, depression, and the challenges that come with life changes. Her practice also addresses a range of related concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, relationship difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, dissociation, and the emotional impacts of divorce, domestic violence, and other losses.

Julia uses a pluralistic, client-centered approach that adapts to each person’s needs rather than relying on a single method. She blends techniques from attachment-based work and cognitive-behavioural ideas with creative practices such as art and journaling when these help clients express and process emotions. With a background in hypnotherapy, she can incorporate relaxation and focused imagery to support deeper exploration and healing where appropriate.

Throughout her practice Julia emphasizes empathy, practical strategies, and collaborative goal-setting. She aims to create a respectful, understanding space in which clients and therapist work together to identify helpful tools and pathways toward greater coping and well-being.

Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help

Julia integrates attachment-based work and client-centered methods to help clients explore relationships, patterns of connection, and the ways early experiences shape current emotional responses. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how bonds and early losses influence present behavior and emotional safety, which can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or relationship difficulties.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own perspectives and goals, offering a non-judgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build insight and resilience. Hypnotherapy is also used in Julia’s practice as a tool to support relaxation and focused reflection, helping some clients access coping resources and address stress, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julia works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the mix of techniques as progress unfolds. Online therapy makes this work accessible through flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging - allowing clients to engage in ways that suit their schedules and comfort levels while connecting with licensed professionals and therapists for consistent support.
