Julie Little

Julie Little is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse. She also supports those struggling with eating and sleeping problems, addiction, parenting concerns, low self-esteem and career pressures. Julie brings a warm, caring presence and speaks plainly about the steps she takes with each person.

Julie frames clients as the experts in their own stories. She listens first, then works collaboratively to find practical ways forward. Her style is supportive and down-to-earth, aimed at reducing overwhelm and helping people feel more in control of daily life.

Clinically, Julie uses client-centred methods alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused approaches when these suit a person’s goals. These methods are used to address patterns of thinking, build coping skills and manage strong emotions.

With eight years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Julie combines direct help with respect for each person’s pace. Her background includes long experience supporting young people and families in education and care settings for over 20 years.

People describe starting work with her as straightforward: she recognises the courage it takes to reach out and offers a calm, steady presence while practical steps are agreed and tried.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Julie draws on client-centred work that puts the person’s experience first. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what is said and helping people set goals that matter to them. It is often useful for building trust and exploring what someone most wants to change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers practical techniques for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and reducing anxiety or mood symptoms. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used to help with emotion regulation and coping strategies when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful. It can also make sessions possible for people who live further away or who prefer not to travel to appointments.
