About Julia Ellingham

Julia Ellingham is a fully qualified counsellor who holds a Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and has worked with both adults and children. After a twelve-year career in advertising she chose to retrain and follow a long-standing passion for counselling, bringing empathy and real-world experience to her practice. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she follows that organisation's code of ethics for good practice and professional standards.

Julia believes everyone deserves to feel happy, valued and respected, and she has seen how counselling can lead to meaningful, positive change. In a fast-paced and often stressful world she offers a calm space to talk through difficulties and to reflect on what is causing distress. She practices person-centred therapy, which recognises the client as the expert in their own life and focuses on exploring thoughts and feelings to build understanding and resolve issues that have become overwhelming.

Her experience has largely focused on supporting children and adults with anxiety and depression, questions of identity and culture, and relationship and family problems. In an initial session Julia discusses a client's needs and therapy goals so each person can decide whether she is the right therapist for them.

Approaches and online support for emotional wellbeing

Julia uses several well-established therapeutic approaches adapted for remote work. Person-centred therapy focuses on the individual's experience and the belief that the client is the expert in their own life - this approach helps people feel heard and explored in a respectful, non-directive way. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages practical steps toward living in line with personal values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to problems such as low mood, anxiety or sleep difficulties, offering practical strategies and short-term goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julia works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to decide which methods fit best with a person's needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family and other commitments. These options increase flexibility, reduce travel time and allow clients to access therapists from their own environments while receiving structured, clinician-led support.
