Julia Harvey , BACP

Julia Harvey is a seasoned BACP member with more than 20 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career transitions and long-term health challenges. She combines holistic health counselling with coaching to help clients regain balance, rebuild motivation and strengthen confidence, working with issues ranging from relationship and family concerns to sleep, eating and anger difficulties. Julia offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence that encourages open exploration of thoughts and feelings, and she aims to create a therapeutic space where clients can identify practical steps toward renewal.

Working collaboratively, she helps people take back a sense of agency by tuning into their intuition and resources, then developing tailored strategies to manage life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD and other challenges. Her approach is practical yet soulful - empowering clients to investigate patterns, rebuild energy and reconnect with what matters. Julia also brings specific experience supporting those affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and caregiver stress, fertility and family of origin issues.

Her fourth book was published in March 2025: The Way of the Boomerang; My Journey to ReBalance My Health with a Roadmap to Navigate Yours. The book chronicles her recovery from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and presents a Six Ways Roadmap for people feeling overwhelmed by illness, stress or life challenges. Julia practices in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Care

Julia uses client-centered therapy to place the client’s experience at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and support that helps people clarify values, build self-understanding and regain a sense of control. This approach is often helpful for those facing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and life-transition concerns.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce rumination, manage stress and improve emotional regulation. Mindfulness can be particularly useful for clients coping with chronic stress, grief, sleep and concentration difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Julia will collaborate with each person to determine what methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Julia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for different schedules and energy levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family and health demands, and they allow therapists and licensed professionals to adapt pace and format to suit each client’s life.
