About Julie

Julie Jamieson is an ACA counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters to each person. Many come for help with emotion regulation, neurodivergence, relationship strain or coping with big life changes.

Julie keeps sessions practical and focused on real-life problems. She blends client-centred work with tools from cognitive behavioural and attachment-based approaches to match the person in front of her. When trauma or overwhelming memories are involved she may use EMDR techniques to support processing.

Sessions begin by identifying immediate concerns and what a successful outcome looks like. Julie and the client set small, achievable steps and review progress regularly. She encourages coping skills that fit day-to-day routines and goals that feel realistic.

Her style is calm and direct, offering strategies for managing emotions and for improving communication. She also works on practical plans for sleep, concentration and stress reduction when ADHD or chronic stress are factors. Addictions and relationship difficulties are approached with problem-solving and safety in mind.

Julie has five years of clinical experience in Australia and works in English. Her practice notes a focus on adoption and foster care issues among other family and attachment concerns. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire to help match with her and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and trust. Online work can explore those relationship patterns by looking at how past bonds affect current feelings and reactions. This approach is useful for people who want to understand how attachment affects relationships and behaviour.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, helping them find their own solutions. This style supports people who need space to talk things through and make sense of their feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Online sessions can teach simple exercises for managing anxiety, low mood and stress, and set tasks to practise between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. The direction can change as needs become clearer, and the plan is reviewed regularly in collaboration with the client.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations. These practical benefits often help therapy feel more manageable while keeping the focus on progress and day-to-day strategies.
