About Julie

Julie Leeper is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with addictions, grief and loss, sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges and coping with life changes. Julie also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image and chronic illness.

Her approach focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. Sessions are a place to talk through feelings, identify patterns and try manageable ways to change them. She aims to help people feel heard while they consider different options for moving forward.

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address specific problems. For example, practical strategies may be used to improve sleep or to manage urges linked to substance use. She also works on communication and coping skills that relate to family and relationship stresses.

People who come to Julie often want straightforward support after a life change. She helps with decision points such as separation, role changes in parenting, or adapting to ageing and health changes. Sessions tend to focus on immediate concerns alongside planning next steps.

Julie accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online work

Julie draws on practical, evidence-based techniques to address specific problems. Cognitive and behavioural strategies focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and daily habits, which can help with sleep problems and impulsive behaviours. Brief skills training teaches clear steps for communication, managing urges and coping with strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, then try methods that suit the issue and your day-to-day life. That collaborative decision making helps shape ongoing sessions.

The biography does not list which online formats she uses, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions save travel time, fit around childcare or work, and allow more frequent short check-ins. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be useful when a shorter conversation is needed, while video lets you use visual cues during discussion. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods so therapy fits into ordinary routines without promising specific results.
