Julie Jamieson, BACP

Julie Jamieson is a compassionate and caring therapist whose own life-changing experience of therapy inspired her to train in the Person Centred Approach at the University of Strathclyde in 2014. She brings a warm, empathetic presence to her work and seeks to create an accepting environment where people can explore their feelings and challenges without judgement.

Since qualifying she has worked in private practice and in further (college) education, offering support to people navigating difficult and complex life experiences. She recognises how events, overwhelming choices or hard-to-name hurts can leave someone feeling stuck or fearful, and she centres her work on listening with genuine understanding to help clients find their own way forward.

Julie holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and aims to stand alongside clients in their more difficult moments, listening attentively and supporting them to discover solutions that work for their life and values.

Person-centred and evidence-informed approaches for online work

Julie primarily draws on the Person Centred Approach, a way of working that emphasises empathic listening, unconditional acceptance and supporting people to find their own answers. This approach can be especially helpful for those who feel stuck, unsure of their next steps, or in need of a non-judgemental space to explore emotions.

Alongside this, Julie uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques - structured methods supported by research - to address specific concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related distress and relationship difficulties. These techniques are applied flexibly to suit an individual's situation and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with clients to identify which combination of person-centred listening and evidence-informed methods fits best with their needs, preferences and goals, adjusting the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - which allows clients to choose the way that feels most comfortable and convenient. This range of options makes it easier to access consistent support around work, family and other commitments while working with a licensed professional.
