About Julie

Julie Fraser helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and relationship difficulties. She works collaboratively and listens without judgement to what a person brings. Julie is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has six years of experience.

In sessions she uses talking and practical strategies to make small changes that add up. She draws on client-centred work to follow what the person finds most important. She also uses cognitive behavioural tools to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.

Julie offers focused ways to tackle immediate problems as well as trauma-informed methods when past events affect day-to-day life. She helps people find clearer ways to cope with grief, parenting pressures, relationship strain and career worries. She also works with issues such as self-esteem, anger, sleep and eating and the stresses of caring for others.

Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented when needed. That might mean setting short-term steps or trying different ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. Julie encourages practical adjustments that fit into everyday life.

She works in English in the United Kingdom. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location. To start, use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Working with CBT, client-centred and solution-focused approaches online

Julie uses client-centred counselling to prioritise what matters most to the person, following their concerns and pace. This approach is helpful for building a trusting working relationship and for exploring personal issues such as relationship strain or parenting pressures.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating-related difficulties. Solution-focused work concentrates on short-term goals and small, manageable steps to create immediate change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. That planning is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for different ways of working such as shorter check-ins or sessions without video. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods so therapy fits everyday routines.
