Julie Fraser, BACP

Julie Fraser helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, and parenting pressures. She also supports those facing grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, anger, and career-related strain. Julie uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people manage life changes and everyday pressures.

Julie works in a calm, non-judgemental way. She aims to make sessions feel like a steady space for people to speak and be heard. Conversations focus on the issues you bring, and on steps you can try between sessions.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to each person and to build trust in the relationship. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set realistic goals and find small, practical changes that add up.

Julie has six years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is noted as BACP in her credentials.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Julie works with each person to choose a pace and style that suit them, and she supports people through the process of change.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to a suitable schedule and format before booking sessions.

How Julie's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to each person. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can clarify thoughts and feelings and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and supports practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow a full conversation that feels close to an in-person meeting. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer written conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to try different formats until a good fit is found.
