About Julie
Julie Gregory-Bateman uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She meets people where they are and talks through worries at a pace that suits them. Julie draws on a mix of talking-based therapies to help people feel clearer about their choices and cope better day to day.
She offers straightforward sessions that can focus on present difficulties or look back to earlier experiences that still affect mood and behaviour.
Background and approach
Julie pays attention to feelings like shame, guilt, emptiness and low self-esteem and helps people find ways to respond differently to them. She also works with issues linked to trauma and abuse, and with grief and end-of-life concerns. Julie trained in integrative counselling and psychotherapy and holds a Master of Science degree with distinction.
She also has a diploma in counselling and psychotherapy skills and an advanced diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she is a BACP member. Those qualifications inform sessions that blend gentle listening with practical techniques. Before moving into therapy she spent years in business management across finance, logistics, procurement and hospitality.
That background shapes a pragmatic outlook and an interest in practical support options outside sessions when helpful. Julie has also completed study related to dementia and geriatric care. Outside work she supports local community projects and enjoys outdoor time with her dog and quieter evenings at home.
If someone feels Julie might help, she invites them to start a conversation to see if the fit feels right.

Online support
She also uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. That method helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals before moving to change work.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of combining listening, attachment exploration and practical cognitive strategies. The plan is reviewed as therapy progresses so it fits the person rather than a pre-set model.
Online therapy makes regular contact easier to fit around life. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can support brief updates or reflection between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent and flexible while working through stress, anxiety, trauma-related issues or life transitions.
