Julie Donnelly

Julie Donnelly is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem problems, depression and coping with life changes. She also offers support around life purpose, midlife questions, and issues connected to autism and Asperger syndrome.

Julie uses a conversational, person-focused way of working. Sessions aim to help people talk through what is happening now and how past patterns affect present choices. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts, and psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives to look at deeper patterns and emotional themes.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Clients can expect practical strategies for everyday problems, paired with time to reflect on recurring patterns and identity questions. Julie brings attention to communication issues and family of origin material that often show up in relationship struggles.

She speaks English and French and works with adults who want to figure out purpose or handle major life transitions. Julie notes that sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The first meeting focuses on understanding current concerns and agreeing next steps together.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to clarify feelings or make choices without pressure. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduces practical steps to change unhelpful habits and ease anxiety or low mood. Psychodynamic and Jungian ideas bring attention to recurring themes from the past and symbolic material that influence how people respond now, useful for relationship patterns and identity questions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try different ways of working together. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences and responses help shape the approach over time.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions in different languages where offered. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will suit practical needs and make adjustments as the work progresses.
