Julie Storr, BACP, NCPS

Julie Storr brings ten years of counselling experience and a background shaped by 25 years in hospitality management. She understands the pressure of juggling full-time work, running a household and everyday life demands. Julie creates a calm space where people can talk through what feels hard and work out practical steps forward.

Her approach is flexible and draws on several well-known methods. Julie uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on each person’s own pace and priorities. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses.

Julie often supports people with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, career decisions and major life changes. Additional focuses include fertility, postpartum challenges, sexuality and diverse relationship styles such as polyamory and non-monogamy.

Practical concerns like money, career pressure and communication problems are part of her work too. She is experienced in talking about infidelity, divorce and separation, loneliness, emptiness and guilt or shame. Julie has also worked with people facing end-of-life and hospice issues.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused when needed. Julie offers an initial chat to see if there is a good fit, then they plan together what to try next. She works in English and accepts international clients who want to meet online.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work and focuses on listening, understanding and following what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to make sense of feelings and decide what to change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and how they link. It offers clear, practical techniques to try differently when anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thinking patterns are causing trouble.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Julie will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best. She discusses goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then adapts the way she works so it meets those needs.

Online work makes therapy more flexible. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and let Julie and the client use visual cues. Phone sessions suit brief check-ins or when video is not practical. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, ongoing contact and can fit around busy days or shift work. These options help people fit therapy into their life without lengthy travel.
