About Julia

Julia Harvey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low energy. She uses a calm, non-judgemental style to help clients talk through worries about work, health and relationships. Julia sees the step of reaching out for support as a sign of strength and aims to make starting therapy straightforward.

She draws on 20 years of experience and brings a broad, practical focus to sessions. That includes support for self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns. She also helps people cope with life changes such as bereavement, divorce and long-term health conditions.

Julia works in a holistic way that combines counselling with coaching elements. She encourages clients to explore thoughts, feelings and daily habits, and to notice what helps them feel more balanced. The aim is to help people regain a sense of control and build coping strategies that fit their life.

Her approach emphasises curiosity and self-discovery. Clients are invited to become active investigators of their own experience, noticing patterns and testing small changes. Julia describes this as walking alongside someone rather than telling them what to do.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Outside clinical work she has written about recovery from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and published a book sharing practical steps she found useful.

How client-centred and mindful work translates online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions. It involves the therapist offering empathy, reflecting what is said and supporting a person to make their own choices. This approach can help with feelings of overwhelm, low confidence and uncertainty about next steps.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple awareness practices to notice thoughts, bodily sensations and moods. These techniques can reduce reactivity to stress and help with anxiety, sleep problems and managing persistent health concerns. Exercises are practical and can be practised between sessions to build steady coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods together. This is a collaborative process where clients try techniques and feed back what helps.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please check the booking details to confirm how sessions are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when schedules are busy. It also means people can try mindfulness exercises together with the therapist and bring questions from day-to-day life into the next session.
