Julie-Ann Huggins, BACP

Julie-Ann Huggins is an accredited counsellor and coach with five years of professional experience and a BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She creates a warm, interactive space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be explored without fear of judgment, aiming to support people as they find solutions, build resilience, and discover greater meaning and purpose in life.

Her work is informed by an uplifting approach to counselling and psychotherapy that pays attention to natural cycles and encourages personal leadership to support lasting change. Julie-Ann uses an interdisciplinary model to design a bespoke online practice tailored to each person, helping clients better understand themselves, how they affect the people around them, and how to move forward from challenging circumstances.

She supports a wide range of difficulties, including family situations, anxiety, depression, bereavement and other forms of loss, climate-related distress, alcoholism and drug misuse, ambiguous loss, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, and confidence building. Julie-Ann blends coaching and therapeutic techniques to help clients identify practical steps, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with what matters most so they can enjoy life more fully.

Approaches that guide online therapeutic support

Julie-Ann commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work. ACT helps people clarify their values and take steps toward a meaningful life while learning to notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than being driven by them. It is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and motivation challenges.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence present-day patterns. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, abandonment issues, and understanding how past losses shape current reactions.

In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in her practice as a practical way to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop alternative coping strategies. CBT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Julie-Ann works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Julie-Ann is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access support from home or while traveling, and they allow the therapist and client to choose the format that best supports progress and convenience.
