About Julie-Ann
Julie-Ann Huggins is a counsellor with five years of experience and a BACP membership. She offers a warm, interactive approach where people can speak about hard feelings without judgement. Her aim is to help people find clearer answers, greater purpose and practical ways to improve day-to-day life.
Her style combines conversation with body-aware work. She draws on somatic ideas to help people notice how stress and past events live in the body.
Background and approach
That can make feelings easier to name and work with during sessions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and small, meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding.
Attachment-based ideas help make sense of patterns in relationships and why people react the way they do. Julie-Ann supports people facing a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, stress, depression, grief, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, parenting pressures, ADHD, career questions and compassion fatigue.
She also works with themes such as abandonment, adoption and blended family matters, chronic illness and body image. Sessions are offered online through video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People can expect a relaxed, practical conversation that respects their pace and priorities.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Julie-Ann blends somatic-informed work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people connect body sensation and values. Somatic approaches ask people to notice physical sensations and breathing to better understand stress and calming strategies, which can help with anxiety, trauma responses and chronic tension. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking small actions consistent with those values to reduce suffering and increase meaning.She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore relationship patterns and how early connections shape reactions. That approach can help people understand recurring conflicts or trust issues and try different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process; she works collaboratively to decide which tools fit a person's needs and preferences as therapy progresses.
Online therapy lets people access these approaches from home through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments, and allows continuity if someone moves or travels. Practical exercises, breath work and conversational reflection can all be adapted to these remote formats to support steady progress.
