About Julia
Julia Garnham is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She uses somatic ideas alongside talking therapy to help clients notice how the body and mind affect each other. Julia holds NCPS, which is shown as NCPS on her profile.
Julia keeps sessions simple and practical. She listens and helps people find small changes that make daily life easier. Clients may use breathing, grounding or movement to calm the body alongside conversation.
Background and approach
Her background blends several approaches so sessions can be adjusted to each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and on client-centred work to follow what the person brings. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when thinking patterns and behaviours are getting in the way.
Hypnotherapy and creative exercises such as journaling or art are available when they suit the client. These are offered as options to help access feelings or build new ways of coping. Julia has four years of practice and works with people managing trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, grief, life transitions and related concerns.
She also supports people dealing with abandonment, control issues, dissociation, caregiving stress and domestic violence related impacts. Sessions take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and Julia works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching form and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How somatic and talking approaches work online
Somatic work pays attention to how the body holds stress and emotion, using breathing, grounding and simple movement to help people feel steadier. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with trust, abandonment and commitment concerns. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, following their priorities and pace while providing a non-judgemental space.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, try different ideas and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the way of working can change as progress is made.
Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible and accessible. These formats allow practical tools, somatic exercises and reflective conversation to happen from home or another comfortable place. People can choose the format that fits their life and switch between methods as needed.
