Julie Kuhn , BACP

Julie Kuhn has supported adults facing a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, social and relationship difficulties, low self-worth, anger management, grief and loss, and the impact of chronic illness. Drawing on five years of practice, she offers personalised counselling that responds to each person’s individual story and needs.

Julie has a particular interest in anxiety and speaks from lived experience of anxiety and depression, which informs her empathetic and practical approach. Her work aims to help clients build confidence, improve communication, make clearer decisions, and reconnect with their own values and strengths.

Sessions with Julie are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, so interventions change as the client’s goals and circumstances evolve. She creates a relaxed and warm atmosphere and treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion so they can feel comfortable sharing difficult thoughts and feelings.

Julie believes that talking through life’s journey helps people regain a sense of agency, reduce distressing symptoms, and make choices that feel right for them. She holds BACP - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is committed to supporting and empowering clients who are ready to take the first steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online sessions

Julie draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where clients are listened to without judgment. This approach focuses on the individual’s experience, helping people explore their feelings, build self-awareness, and develop greater self-acceptance - it is useful for issues like low self-worth, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and gently challenge patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers practical tools and structured strategies that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with clients to decide which methods fit best with their goals, needs, and preferences, and adapts techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy enables the same therapeutic work to continue via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier for clients to access consistent support around work, family, or health commitments, and to maintain momentum between sessions while receiving care from licensed professionals.
