About Julia
Julia Harvey is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with over 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career difficulties and anger. Julia also supports people dealing with long-term health problems and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.
Her approach is grounded in client-centred practice. Sessions focus on listening without judgement and helping people to make sense of what they are feeling. She uses mindfulness techniques alongside conversational work to help people notice patterns and respond differently to triggers.
Julia often helps people who feel worn down by persistent health issues, exhaustion or big life changes. She invites clients to look at motivation, confidence and how everyday routines affect mood. Practical steps and reflective exercises are commonly part of sessions.
Her background includes long-term professional practice and authorship of a recent book about recovering from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and finding balance. That experience informs how she approaches chronic illness, caregiver stress and fatigue-related concerns.
Clients can expect a calm, straightforward style that encourages them to identify what they want to change. Julia describes her role as a collaborator who helps people notice patterns, try small changes and build on what works. If someone wants to explore anger, she will openly talk about triggers, reactions and practical ways to manage them.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. It means sessions follow what matters most to the client, with the counsellor listening and reflecting so a clearer view of problems can emerge. This approach helps with anger that feels confusing or out of proportion, because it starts by naming what happens and why it matters.Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention practices and awareness exercises. The focus is on noticing bodily sensations, thoughts and urges without reacting immediately. That can be useful for someone who wants practical ways to pause before snapping, easing habitual reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and everyday constraints, then try techniques that fit the client’s life. Work together might include short exercises between sessions and checking what helps or needs changing.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, health appointments or caregiving duties. They also allow for quieter check-ins that do not need to be long, and for using mindfulness exercises without travel time.
