Julia Garnham, NCPS

Julia Garnham uses an integrative, person-focused approach to therapy. She blends talking therapies and practical techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, low mood and major life changes. Julia holds NCPS, which is shown as NCPS, and works with each person to find what fits them best.

Julia keeps sessions straightforward and humane. She listens first, then suggests ways to tackle difficult thoughts and feelings. That might include mindfulness exercises, gentle hypnotherapy for relaxation, or short practical tasks to try between sessions.

Her work often focuses on attachment and self-esteem issues that show up after loss, relationship breakdown, or repeated stress. She also supports people dealing with aftermaths of abuse, dissociation, body image concerns, and difficult family dynamics. Sessions aim to build coping skills and reduce symptoms so everyday life feels more manageable.

Julia trained in a variety of approaches and draws from cognitive behavioural ideas alongside psychodynamic and client-centred perspectives. She prefers to adapt methods to each person rather than use a fixed recipe. Creative techniques such as journalling or simple art tasks may be used when they help someone express emotion.

With four years of practice, Julia focuses on practical progress and steady change. People who work with her can expect clear explanations, down-to-earth strategies, and a collaborative approach to planning goals and next steps.

How different approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and expectations. In sessions this can help people understand patterns around trust, abandonment and connection, and apply new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so the person can explore feelings and make their own choices about change. This approach is helpful for building self‑esteem and processing grief or relational hurt.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It often includes small tasks to try between sessions and is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing intrusive thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julia will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining mindfulness, CBT tasks and client‑centred reflection over several sessions to see what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check‑ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel and help people keep momentum between sessions.
