About Julie

Julie Little is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, bereavement, body image concerns, family conflict and trauma and abuse. She also has a long background supporting young people and families in education and care settings.

Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She treats each session as a space to listen and to help people work out practical next steps. Sessions often combine reflective conversation with techniques to manage distress and build coping skills.

Julie uses approaches grounded in talking therapies and skills-based methods. She draws on client-centred practices to follow what matters to the person and uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change patterns that cause distress. Where needed she incorporates trauma-focused ideas to address distress linked to past events.

She has over two decades of experience working in education and care settings alongside her eight years as a practising counsellor. That background informs how she supports people dealing with life transitions, parenting strains and relationship pressures common in early adulthood.

People can expect clear explanations, practical techniques and collaborative planning. Julie encourages small, manageable steps and reviews progress together as work continues.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. In practice this means the counsellor helps you name priorities and reflects back what you say so you can make clearer choices. This approach suits people who want to shape the work around their own goals.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short tasks to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve day-to-day coping. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Dialectical behaviour therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It offers concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotional regulation and clearer communication, which can help with intense mood swings and interpersonal conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Julie will work with each person to decide what fits best. That discussion is collaborative - she listens to goals and suggests methods that align with what the person wants to achieve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into study or work schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions so practical therapy work continues between meetings.
