Practical approaches you can use online

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and emotional understanding. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. This is useful for stress, worry and everyday mood difficulties.

Another approach focuses on processing difficult experiences and building coping skills to reduce the hold of past trauma and ongoing distress. It includes paced discussion, grounding techniques and skills to manage strong emotions. This can be helpful for trauma, grief and addiction-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and how you respond to early sessions. Together you will choose or adjust methods so they fit your life and what you want to change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you meet face to face when visual connection helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, day-to-day coaching and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties and travel.
