Julie Durmush , NCPS

Julie Durmush offers a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. She combines warmth and practical direction to help people feel understood and to make manageable changes. Julie's name appears here because she meets people where they are and listens without judgment.

Her work uses an integrative style, blending client-centred principles with cognitive and emotion-focused methods. That means conversations focus on what matters most to the client while also introducing skills for managing thoughts, feelings and relationships. Sessions can include mindfulness tools and trauma-focused techniques when needed.

Julie has six years' experience and is registered with NCPS, the National Counselling Society. She has helped people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also works with concerns such as relationship strain, ADHD, LGBT issues and low self-esteem.

Other areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, body image, codependency, dissociation and commitment or control issues. Julie also supports people facing workplace trauma, childhood trauma and mood disorders. She can offer single-session options to map life balance using a wheel of life exercise.

Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. Julie aims to create a collaborative relationship so that people can find clarity, reduce distress and build coping strategies that fit their daily lives.

How Julie adapts therapeutic approaches for online care

Julie uses client-centred work to prioritise the person's experience, creating space to talk and be heard while exploring what matters most. Client-centred counselling helps with low self-esteem, relationship worries and life transitions by keeping the person's goals at the centre.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to help identify and work with strong emotions in relationships and personal struggles, which can shift how someone connects with themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. She adjusts tools and pace over time so therapy feels useful and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing helps to reflect. These options aim to make it easier to attend sessions and to fit therapy into everyday life.
