Julie Storr

Julie Storr brings ten years of counselling experience to her practice. She draws on a long background in hospitality management and everyday life demands to relate to people juggling work, family and other pressures. Julie believes therapy is a space to talk plainly about what’s happening and to find practical ways to make life feel more manageable.

Julie trained as an integrative counsellor, which means she learned a range of approaches and borrows elements from different models to suit each person. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s own experience and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. She also draws on existential and solution-focused ideas when these fit the issue at hand.

People come to Julie with many concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with bereavement, loneliness and life changes such as separation or fertility challenges. There is experience working with LGBTQ people and with sexual diversity topics including kink and polyamory concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Julie explains that finding the right counsellor matters, and she offers an initial conversation to check fit before planning next steps.

Her background in running businesses and home life informs a practical style that aims to help people make small, achievable changes. She encourages people to be curious about what they want and to take manageable steps towards that change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor follows your lead and helps you find your own answers, which suits worries about identity, loneliness and relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and the actions that keep problems going, and it can be useful for stress, anxiety and low mood where practical changes are needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may shift as therapy progresses.

Check the session formats available before booking to confirm how you will meet. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when life or location changes, though specifics should be confirmed with the therapist during the initial chat.
