Julie Golding, BACP

Julie Golding offers calm, practical support for people coping with stress, anxiety, low mood and major life changes. She keeps meetings straightforward and listens closely to what matters to each person. Julie aims to create a welcoming space where someone can speak honestly about difficult feelings and begin to make manageable changes.

She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Julie focuses on common but distressing problems such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and coping during transitions.

In sessions she uses a blend of approaches to match what an individual needs. That may include exploring early attachment patterns, using mindfulness exercises to reduce overwhelm, or working towards clear, short-term goals. Conversations are practical and paced to the person’s comfort level.

Julie also helps people facing specific relational or life pressures such as abandonment worries, codependency, divorce and separation, infertility-related stress, or conflicts about money. She supports those dealing with domestic violence, eating and food-related worries, guilt, shame, jealousy and midlife concerns.

People who prefer online options can use video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging for sessions. Julie welcomes English-speaking clients across the United Kingdom and internationally and works collaboratively to set goals and review progress.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice recurring themes in relationships and develop new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.

Mindfulness therapy uses simple noticing exercises to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. These practices can be guided during video calls or offered as short audio or text exercises between sessions to build calm in daily life.

Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and boosts commitment to practical steps. In remote sessions this often means setting small, clear goals and reviewing progress together over messages or calls.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and choose methods together based on needs, goals and personal preferences. This collaborative process helps ensure the plan fits the person, not the other way round.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access. Video calls let the therapist and client talk face to face for fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want discreet, ongoing support between meetings.
