Julie LeeperBACP

Julie Leeper is a BACP counsellor who has worked in the field for six years. She helps people who are dealing with addiction, grief, trouble sleeping and parenting stresses. She aims to offer a calm space where people can talk honestly about what they are facing.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people make sense of feelings and patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that can make a difference between meetings.

Julie also supports people coping with life changes and a wide range of related concerns. These include issues such as attachment difficulties, problems with communication, body image worries, chronic pain or illness, and guilt or shame. She names problems plainly and works with clients to identify priorities they want to tackle.

Clients can expect a non-judgemental atmosphere where the therapist encourages honest conversation. The emphasis is on making therapy useful and relevant to each person’s situation. Julie regularly reminds people that starting therapy is a courageous step.

For anyone considering help with addictions, parenting strain, grief, sleep problems or adjusting to change, she offers an open way of working and practical support. People thinking about starting are invited to follow the site’s process to see if the match feels right.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding problems and finding practical ways forward. One common approach she employs helps people identify patterns in thoughts and behaviour that contribute to issues like addiction or sleep disruption, and then tests small changes to those patterns to see what helps. Another approach centres on grief and loss, creating space to name painful feelings and find ways to manage day-to-day functioning while processing those losses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and agree a plan that can be adjusted as therapy progresses. This collaborative process aims to match the method to the issue and the individual rather than sticking to a single route.

Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit more easily around busy lives and reduce travel time. It can make it simpler to attend regular sessions during a workday or when caring responsibilities are present. The exact session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. The focus is on creating practical ways to make therapy part of everyday life and on helping people try approaches that suit their needs.
