Julie Jamieson

Julie Jamieson is an ACA counsellor in Australia with five years of clinical experience. She works with people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions and depression. She also helps with life changes and concerns around attachment, abandonment and family of origin issues.

Julie keeps conversations straightforward. Sessions focus on what is happening now, what feels hard, and what small steps might make life more manageable. She listens for patterns that cause repeated difficulty, then tries simple, practical ways to change those patterns.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice. That means attention to how past relationships affect current reactions, and keeping the person’s own goals at the centre of the work. She also uses cognitive behavioural tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT strategies for emotion regulation when needed.

For people who have experienced trauma, Julie can integrate EMDR-informed methods alongside other approaches when appropriate. She explains each option plainly and checks in often about how a person is coping with the process. The emphasis is on slow, manageable pacing rather than quick fixes.

Julie explains fees and session structure up front and supports people who need to balance therapy with work or caring responsibilities. To start, a short questionnaire helps match priorities and set a first appointment. Many clients begin by clarifying a single pressure point, then expand from there as confidence grows.

How her approaches fit into online sessions

Julie combines attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques in practical ways. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current responses and helps people notice patterns that repeat in close connections. Client-centred methods keep the person’s goals central and prioritise listening and collaboration when deciding what to try next. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Julie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which mix of approaches to use, and she checks progress regularly so adjustments can be made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around jobs or caring duties, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches, such as CBT skill practice or emotion regulation techniques from DBT, adapt well to remote sessions. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and pacing so sessions suit everyday life without promising a particular format.
