Julie Jamieson, BACP

Julie Jamieson offers a calm, non-judgemental presence for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, stress, anxiety or relationship strain. She is straightforward and warm, listening closely so someone can make sense of confusing feelings. Her name appears here because her own experience of therapy inspired her to become a counsellor. Julie trained in the Person Centred Approach at the University of Strathclyde in 2014 and has spent nine years working with people in private practice and in further education. She uses simple, direct listening and gentle questioning to help people notice patterns and choose differently. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, not on labels or diagnosis. People often come when life feels stuck after loss, divorce, addiction, trauma, or major decisions. Julie also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, attachment and abandonment issues, cancer related distress, and challenges around intimacy and communication. She pays attention to shame, guilt and codependency where these get in the way of daily life. In sessions Julie aims to create a steady space so people can work through grief, rebuild self-esteem, or manage compassion fatigue. She values practical steps that fit everyday life and helps people try out new ways of relating to themselves and others. Her approach is collaborative. She listens, reflects, and helps people set small goals. People leave sessions with clearer next steps and a sense that they have been heard.

How Julie brings person-centred care to online therapy

Julie uses the Person Centred Approach, which focuses on attentive listening and empathy so people can make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach helps when someone feels stuck by grief, relationship problems, shame or low self-esteem because it prioritises the person’s own understanding and pace. She often combines that core stance with practical, evidence-based techniques to help manage anxiety and stress. These techniques involve simple exercises people can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and test small changes in daily routines. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide what feels most helpful. That collaborative conversation guides whether sessions focus more on listening, short practical exercises, or day-to-day coping strategies. Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual connection when that matters. Phone sessions are useful for a lower-bandwidth option or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief ongoing support, or want to reflect in their own time. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and care commitments while keeping continuity of support.
