Julie Little , BACP

Julie Little is a UK-based therapist who brings eight years of clinical experience alongside more than twenty years supporting families and young people in the education and care sector. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, bereavement, body image concerns, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life challenges including addictions, grief, parenting struggles, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.

Julie offers a warm, empathetic approach that recognizes each person as the expert of their own story. She emphasizes clients' existing strengths and collaborates with them to navigate confusing or isolating moments. Her practice attends to both immediate practical coping and deeper relational and trauma-related patterns, aiming to help clients rebuild confidence, improve communication, and find clearer direction amid change.

Julie holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and bases her work in the United Kingdom. She draws on a range of therapeutic methods, tailoring sessions to individual needs and preferences while providing steady, nonjudgmental support for people taking the courageous step to seek help.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online support

Julie commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship and helps people explore their feelings and values so they can make choices that fit their lives. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage stress.

She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when clients need skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal boundaries. These approaches are selected and blended to suit each person’s situation rather than applied uniformly.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Julie will work with each client to understand their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter conversations can be handled via live chat or text-based messaging. This variety makes it easier to access support around work, family commitments, or when mobility or distance would otherwise be a barrier, while letting clients choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
