About Julia Ellingham
Before retraining as a counsellor, Julia spent twelve years in advertising and chose to follow her passion for supporting others. Over six years of clinical practice she has worked with both adults and children, helping people navigate challenges that range from anxiety and depression to relationship and family difficulties. She believes everyone deserves to feel happy, valued and respected, and she has seen how focused counselling can lead to meaningful improvements in wellbeing.
Julia practices from a Client-Centered perspective, which treats the client as the expert on their own life and uses empathic, non-judgemental exploration to help people better understand their feelings and resolve issues that feel overwhelming. Her experience also covers areas such as identity and culture, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting concerns, sleeping and eating difficulties, and career-related stress. In an initial session she discusses each person’s needs and goals so they can decide whether her approach is the right fit.

Approaches That Guide Online Support
Julia uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy and acceptance, helping clients explore their own thoughts and feelings so they can access their own solutions and build self-understanding; this approach is helpful for people facing relationship difficulties, identity questions, or general emotional distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and stress-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult emotions while committing to values-based actions, which can be useful for coping with life changes and longstanding worries.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Julia works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She will discuss options during early sessions and adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for those with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls and phone sessions allow a face-to-face interaction from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible alternatives for people who prefer written communication or need more frequent, brief check-ins. These formats increase accessibility and make it easier to fit regular therapy into everyday life, while licensed professionals tailor their methods to suit each delivery style.
