About Julia
Julia Ellingham draws on a person-centred approach combined with evidence-based methods to support people through difficult times. She works in a straightforward, respectful way and helps clients identify what matters to them. Julia holds a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She practises in English and provides sessions across a range of formats. Julia moved into counselling after a twelve-year career in advertising.
Background and approach
That change gives her a practical understanding of work-related stress and life transitions. She uses that experience to help people make sense of career pressure, low mood, anxiety and big life changes. Her work often focuses on anxiety and depression alongside relationship and family concerns.
She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, eating or sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem challenges, bipolar mood issues, parenting strains and coping with change. Sessions aim to make worries easier to manage and choices clearer. In practice she combines Client-Centred Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy tools.
That mix allows space to talk while also teaching practical skills for thinking differently and managing intense feelings. Julia keeps sessions direct and grounded so parents and busy adults can fit therapy into daily life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.
This starting step allows a clear conversation about goals and what to expect from therapy moving forward.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julia will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process allows techniques to be adapted as therapy progresses so the plan fits the person's life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexible options for different situations. Video is useful when visual connection helps; phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing over speaking. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family and other commitments.
