Julie Little , BACP

Julie Little is a UK-licensed therapist with a background supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, bereavement, body image concerns, and experiences of trauma and abuse. She combines clinical training with practical experience to help people navigate complex emotional challenges and everyday pressures.

Alongside her formal practice, Julie has more than 20 years of experience working with families and young people in the education and care sector, bringing an understanding of family dynamics and young-person needs to her therapeutic work. She holds BACP, a professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, which reflects her commitment to continuing professional standards and development.

Julie works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be mobilized to address what feels overwhelming. She adopts a warm, caring approach and aims to create a respectful space where people can explore difficult feelings and practical concerns. Julie recognises how lonely and confusing struggles can feel and understands that reaching out for support often takes significant courage.

She encourages people to value the first step of seeking help and offers steady, empathetic guidance as they begin to work through change and recovery.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Julie integrates client-centered work and evidence-based therapies into online sessions to meet each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a nonjudgmental, empathic environment where the person leads the pace and focus of sessions - this approach helps with relationship issues, self-esteem, grief, and navigating life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical, structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with mood shifts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills-based strategies for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive or self-destructive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation, adapting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Julie is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, during work breaks, or while travelling, and support a consistent therapeutic rhythm even when life is busy or circumstances change.
