Julia Garnham

Julia Garnham is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem issues, depression and coping with life changes. Julia also lists additional concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image and caregiver stress.

Her way of working is pluralistic. That means she draws on several approaches and adapts them to what a person needs in session. She uses Attachment-Based techniques to look at relational patterns, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours, and Mindfulness and hypnotherapy tools for relaxation and focus. She may also use creative activities like art or journaling to help express difficult feelings.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Julia will listen to what matters most and try small, workable steps to move forward. She pays attention to how past experiences affect present choices and relationships, and to the feelings that hold people back from making changes.

Julia has experience helping people cope after relationship breakdown, loss or traumatic events. She supports work on guilt, shame, dissociation and issues around control and dependency. Her approach covers both immediate coping skills and longer term patterns that shape day-to-day life.

If someone is unsure about therapy, she asks a few simple questions first and then suggests an initial plan. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the platform's scheduling tools.

How attachment work, CBT and mindfulness translate to online sessions

Julia commonly blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that suit each person. Attachment work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and reactions; it helps when relational fears or commitment issues get in the way. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing skills to ease stress and ground difficult emotions.

Finding the right mix is part of the process. Julia will work with the client to decide which approaches to use, based on their goals, history and what feels manageable. The plan can change as sessions continue, so the work stays practical and relevant.

The original biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Generally online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and let someone join from a quieter space that suits them. Registered or accredited professionals can use a range of methods in remote sessions, and Julia aims to select tools that fit the person’s day-to-day life rather than add extra demands.
