Hi, I’m Julie welcome to storeycounselling, my private practice set in the garden of my home, a warm safe, comfortable space, somewhere for you to share your story with me. The word ‘counselling’ may feel scary and fill you with lots of questions, what happens in counselling? what do I say? what if ….and many more. All of these thoughts are quite normal and together we can search for the answers.

I have a passion for working with people and have spent most of my working life in HR providing advice & support with a large measure of empathy on the side. I find it easy to engage with people of all ages and backgrounds, my natural sensitive curiosity helps me get to know you and aids the work we do together.  I am an integrative counsellor which means I use a range of counselling practices and techniques and tailor these to your specific needs. I have experience of working with children and adults, each bring a unique reason for seeking counselling including relationship issues, anxiety, addiction, bereavement or feeling confused and lost.
 

My one to one work with adults is designed to help you share your story, overcome personal challenges by exploring the journey, reviewing the chapters of your life to help make sense of the past while looking to plan your future. I provide a supportive and non-judgemental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights into your behaviour, and develop strategies for positive change.

 I offer a free 30 minute getting to know you session, this is an opportunity for us both to find out a little about each other before moving forward with counselling sessions.  The counselling relationship is much like any other in that it is built on trust, commitment and respect, so it’s imperative that both the client and counsellor make a connection as this will provide the foundation for our work together.  If you think and feel we could work together please send me a message, via Instagram or email and I’ll get back to you to arrange the initial getting to know you session. 

 Open to new clients.  

My work with children and young adults is designed to help young people overcome a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and more. I use a range of techniques and practical resources to facilitate the work we do together to help children and young adults develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and achieve greater success in school and other areas of life.

Addictions, Anger Management, Anxiety, Bereavement, Depression, Health & Life related issues, Identity confusion, Loss, Relationships, Self-esteem, Self-harm, Stress, Trauma, Work related issues. 

These are just examples and I am happy to explore whatever you bring to our sessions.
