Julie Storr , BACP, NCPS

Julie Storr enjoys city life and values human connection, bringing that same energy to her counselling practice. With 25 years of experience in hospitality management, she has a practical understanding of the pressures involved in working full time while running a business and a home, and uses that insight when supporting people juggling multiple responsibilities.

She believes therapy should be an open, collaborative space where therapist and client work together to identify what is happening and explore changes that can improve daily life. As an integrative trained counsellor, she draws on a range of therapeutic methods to shape an approach that fits each person. That training includes familiar models such as cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas, used selectively to meet individual needs.

Julie holds BACP and NCPS credentials, professional counselling qualifications that indicate membership of recognised counselling organisations. She invites potential clients to an initial conversation to assess fit and discuss next steps, treating that first meeting as an important part of the process toward meaningful change.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Julie commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to support people in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and support, which can be helpful for exploring identity, relationships, and life purpose. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with clients to identify goals and preferences, and adapts methods over time so the approach matches each person’s needs rather than imposing a single model.

Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options offer flexibility in how and when people connect with licensed professionals and therapists, allowing work, family commitments, and other factors to be accommodated while progressing toward personal goals.
