About Julie

Julie Leeper helps people tackle addictions, grief and loss, sleeping problems, parenting concerns and coping with life changes. She uses open conversation and practical support to help people manage difficult feelings and day-to-day struggles. Julie is a BACP member with six years of professional experience in counselling.

Julie aims to make sessions straightforward and focused. She listens to what matters to each person and works with them to identify small, workable steps. Conversations cover emotions, behaviour and practical routines that affect sleep, substance use and family life.

Her caseload has included issues linked to abandonment, attachment and blended family challenges. She also supports people facing chronic illness, body image worries, communication problems and the effects of separation and divorce. Drug and alcohol addiction, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and impulsivity are among the concerns she has helped people with.

Sessions typically look at current difficulties, patterns that keep problems going, and simple changes people can try between meetings. Julie encourages clear goal-setting and regular review so progress is visible. She also helps people reflect on past hurts and work towards forgiveness when that is relevant.

Julie works in English and accepts international clients. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, follow the platform steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on the present and on practical change. One common approach looks at current patterns of thought and behaviour, helping people spot what keeps a problem going and try small, testable changes between sessions. This can be helpful for sleeping problems, addictions and impulsive behaviours.

Another approach concentrates on emotional processing and relationships. It helps people understand attachment, grief and family dynamics so they can communicate more clearly and manage strong feelings. This work often supports parenting concerns, blended family issues and recovery after separation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will discuss short- and longer-term goals and suggest methods that match the person’s needs and preferences, checking in regularly and adapting as work progresses.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy days and keeping continuity when travel would be difficult. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular contact and to try techniques between meetings.
