Julie Stevens, BACP

Julie Stevens is a UK-licensed therapist who brings a compassionate, client-focused approach to her work. She has four years of professional experience as a counsellor and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. In addition, she has extensive background as a Mental Health Nurse with over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health and wellbeing, which informs her practical and empathetic style.

Julie specialises in supporting people through stress and anxiety, grief and loss, anger management, motivation and confidence, and challenges with self-esteem. She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings and work toward clearer goals. Her practice emphasises listening, validation, and collaborative planning so clients feel supported while developing their own solutions.

Taking the first step toward change can be daunting, and Julie frames that step as an act of courage. She offers steady guidance and empowerment, helping clients build resilience and practical skills to manage life’s pressures and transitions. Her aim is to support each person toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Client-Centered Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, with the therapist providing empathic listening and acceptance so individuals can explore their feelings and priorities. This approach is helpful for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns, and transitions where understanding and personal insight are central to progress.

In practice, Julie focuses on building a trusting, collaborative relationship and helping clients identify their own strengths and goals. Sessions are guided by the client’s needs, with the therapist offering support, reflection, and gentle challenge to help people move toward meaningful change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Julie will collaborate with each person to determine which ways of working feel most effective, adjusting techniques and focus as needs, goals, and preferences become clearer. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy fits the individual rather than expecting the client to fit a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, access care from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. For many clients, the convenience and consistency of online sessions support steady progress over time.
