About Julia
Julia Harvey offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She introduces a gentle, steady presence and helps clients untangle what is draining their energy. Julia writes plainly and works collaboratively to find small, manageable steps forward.
She is a BACP counsellor with 20 years of professional experience. That background means she has supported people through grief, low mood, anger and burnout, and through physical health challenges that affect daily life.
Background and approach
She also helps with career worries, motivation, self-esteem and relationship concerns, including intimacy-related issues. Julia uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person’s own goals at the heart of the work. She pairs this with mindfulness practices to help people notice and manage difficult feelings and bodily tension.
Sessions focus on what’s happening now and practical ways to cope between appointments. Julia describes her style as encouraging and investigative. She helps people reconnect with their own resources and make decisions that fit their life.
Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person’s comfort. Therapy is offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions within the therapist’s available times.

Approaches Julia lists
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
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple noticing and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These tools help with anxiety, sleep difficulties and managing painful emotions by bringing attention back to the present moment in a gentle way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then try methods that fit the person’s life. This collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as needs change.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging offers practical flexibility. Video is useful for a full conversational session, phone can be lighter on bandwidth, and text formats allow short check-ins between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule around work, caring duties or limited travel while keeping continuity of care.
