Julie Storr

Julie Storr brings a practical, people-centred approach to counselling. She draws on a decade of experience and a long prior career in hospitality management to understand the demands of busy lives. Julie believes counselling is a space to talk honestly about what is happening and to work out realistic steps towards change.

She trained as an integrative counsellor, which means she uses ideas from several methods to suit each person. That includes elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work alongside existential and solution-focused strategies. Sessions are organised around what a person needs rather than a single fixed method.

Julie often helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports discussions about relationships, intimacy, sexuality and issues linked to non-traditional relationship structures. Practical topics such as money worries, career choices and life changes are part of her caseload too.

Grief and end-of-life concerns are among the areas she lists, and she aims to offer calm, grounded conversations for people facing those difficult moments. Other areas mentioned include fertility, postpartum changes, communication problems and feelings of isolation.

Julie uses a straightforward style. She likes an initial chat to check fit, then works collaboratively to set short-term goals and small, achievable steps. People can expect clear language, gentle challenge and help finding ways to cope day to day.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and understood while deciding what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers clear techniques to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Julie will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt techniques as the process unfolds. That collaborative decision-making helps shape practical steps that feel manageable.

If you are considering online counselling, please check which session formats are offered before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who want to speak from the place they spend most of their time. Registered or accredited professionals use a range of styles online, and Julie aims to help clients find an approach that fits their life and goals.
