About Julie

Julie Leeper is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She helps people dealing with addictions, grief and loss, sleep problems, parenting concerns and other life changes. Julie works with adults and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.

Julie aims for straightforward conversations about the issues that matter most to a person. She listens for patterns that keep causing trouble and helps people try different ways of responding. Typical topics include grief, drug and alcohol problems, the strain of parenting, and the practical fallout of divorce or separation.

Her approach is practical and focused on immediate problems as well as longer term patterns. Julie talks through emotions, routines and behaviours, and helps people set small, manageable steps to test new ways of coping. She also addresses sleep difficulties and the frustration they cause in day-to-day life.

People may bring mixed feelings about family change, such as abandoning feelings, attachment concerns, or blended family issues. Julie will help make sense of those reactions and look at how they affect relationships and daily routines. She also works with worries about ageing, chronic pain or body image when these affect how someone gets on with life.

To begin a working relationship Julie asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches are used online

Julie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on current problems and everyday routines. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and then practise different responses. This can be useful for addictions, sleep problems and controlling impulses. Another approach looks at emotions tied to loss and attachment. It helps people name feelings, understand how they affect relationships, and try small shifts in how they relate to others. This approach can help with grief, blended family issues, and feelings of abandonment. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as needs change. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when useful, and make it simpler to keep appointments around work or family commitments. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and how they might fit into your routine.
