About Julie
Julie Durmush is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) and has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, LGBT issues, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Julie uses an integrative, client-centred approach to help people talk through what’s troubling them and find clearer ways forward.
Her style puts the therapeutic relationship first. Sessions focus on listening without judgment and helping people feel heard. She blends client-centred work with practical methods from cognitive behavioural and trauma-focused approaches as needed. Julie also draws on mindfulness and emotionally-focused techniques to support emotion regulation and clearer communication.
Julie has experience supporting adults and young people from varied backgrounds, including work with emergency services. Her clinical work has addressed depression, obsessive thoughts, personality difficulties, PTSD, low confidence, workplace trauma and childhood trauma. She also offers standalone sessions using the wheel of life to map areas of satisfaction and identify where to concentrate efforts.
When relevant, Julie uses trauma-focused strategies to help process distressing memories and Rewind Therapy techniques for specific trauma-related presentations. Her mix of approaches aims to give both practical tools and space to process feelings. People often leave with clearer steps to manage symptoms and relationships.
Sessions are delivered in ways the client and therapist agree on. Prospective clients should confirm session formats before booking. To start, select the online therapy options and complete the matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.
How Julie uses therapy approaches in online sessions
Julie commonly combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people articulate what matters to them so they can make choices that fit their life. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns.She also uses trauma-focused methods when needed to help process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing impact. These approaches aim to make strong emotional experiences easier to understand and manage, which can be useful for people dealing with past harm or sudden life changes. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences so the plan evolves together.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online work helps fit therapy around study, shifts and commuting. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, schedule meetings outside usual office hours and avoid travel time. Speak with Julie after the matching questionnaire to clarify practical arrangements and which approach feels most helpful.
