Julie Kuhn, BACP

Julie Kuhn is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression and grief. She also supports those dealing with anger, relationship strain, LGBT concerns, career worries and compassion fatigue. Julie works with adults coping with chronic illness, cancer, pain and the emotional impact of life changes. She uses a calm, warm style that aims to put people at ease. Sessions are tailored to each person’s situation and paced to what feels manageable. Julie draws on client-centred listening so people can talk through their story and feel heard. Julie blends practical tools with reflective work. She may use cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to steady strong emotions, and solution-focused steps to set small achievable goals. Somatic approaches can help when emotions are felt in the body rather than only in thoughts. Her approach is collaborative. Julie explains options and works with clients to choose what fits their needs. That can mean practicing new ways to cope, rehearsing conversations, or planning small changes between sessions. Julie brings five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English for people in the United Kingdom. If someone wishes to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Julie's approaches work online

Client-centred therapy is built around listening and responding to what each person needs. It focuses on understanding your experience and helping you feel accepted so you can talk through problems and make your own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and reduce distress. Mindfulness work helps people notice thoughts and sensations without judgement and can ease overwhelm by bringing attention back to the present moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Julie treats it as a team effort. She will discuss different ways of working and tailor methods to your goals, preferences and what feels manageable. That might mean combining listening-based work with CBT tools, short solution-focused tasks, mindfulness practice or somatic techniques to address physical signs of stress.

Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or hands-free is needed, live chat suits shorter check-ins or quieter moments, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and health needs while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
