Julie Callow, NCPS

Julie Callow is a counsellor who combines client-centred work with practical cognitive behavioural techniques. She draws on six years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, career worries and other life changes. Julie is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Her approach starts by listening without judgement. She aims to help people notice their own strengths and build on them. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can be practised between meetings. Julie uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a supportive space where clients set the pace and topics. She pairs this with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools to change them. This combination helps with anxiety, sleep problems, motivation, addictions and coping with loss. Over six years she has worked with people on issues such as parenting strain, relationship problems, depression, ADHD and life-stage concerns like midlife changes and ageing. She also offers support around more specific struggles including bereavement, divorce, fertility distress, isolation and shame. Julie holds NCPS, which appears as her professional credential. Her sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and are arranged through an initial matching process.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving people a non-judgemental space to talk. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client’s lead so clients can make sense of their feelings and values. This helps when someone needs to explore grief, identity, life purpose or emotional overwhelm.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It introduces simple exercises and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful habits. CBT is useful for stress, low mood, addictions and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods together. The process is collaborative so people can try techniques and decide what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues, phone calls can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to find a workable time and style for therapy while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
