About Julia
Julia Garnham uses an adaptable, person-focused approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She is NCPS, which stands for National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, and brings four years of clinical experience to the work.
Julia aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what feels overwhelming and learn practical ways to cope. She draws on several approaches rather than one single method.
Background and approach
Sessions might include attachment-based ideas to understand close relationships, client-centred listening that follows the person’s lead, or cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness exercises are sometimes used to support relaxation and present-moment awareness. Julia often helps people process trauma, loss and relationship difficulties by breaking problems into manageable steps.
She uses simple tools and reflective conversation to build coping skills and emotional resilience. Creative options such as journaling can be suggested to help express feelings when words alone are hard. Her practice is collaborative.
Clients set goals and Julia adapts her methods to what each person finds most useful. The work balances practical strategies with space to explore deeper patterns that affect mood and behaviour. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged to suit different schedules.
Julia encourages honest conversation about expectations so the therapeutic plan matches each person’s needs and pace.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work together with the client to identify what fits best. That might mean starting with one method and adding others as needs and goals become clearer. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to personal preferences and the specific issues someone brings.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat can provide shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and varied schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
