Julie Harrison, BACP

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and on building practical coping skills. One common approach looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches simple strategies to reduce anxiety and low mood by testing new behaviours. Another approach concentrates on relationships and attachment patterns, helping people understand how early patterns affect current connections and communication.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss different styles and jointly decide which methods suit the person's needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques are adapted if something does not feel helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or health demands and make regular contact easier to maintain.
