Julie Kuhn

Julie Kuhn is a BACP counsellor who helps people handle stress, anxiety, anger and low self-worth. She works with adults facing relationship strain, grief, career worries, trauma and the effects of chronic illness. Her approach aims to make talking about difficult experiences easier and more useful.

Julie draws on five years' experience to shape sessions around each person's needs. She keeps her style relaxed and warm, and focuses on respect, sensitivity and compassion. That helps people feel able to speak frankly about their worries.

Sessions often centre on practical steps to reduce symptoms and restore control. Julie uses client-centred conversation to understand what matters most to each person. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, testable changes.

Mindfulness and somatic techniques are offered to help people notice their body and breath when feelings become overwhelming. Solution-focused ideas are used to identify strengths and create short-term goals. Together these approaches aim to boost confidence and improve communication.

Julie understands some of the challenges of anxiety and depression from her own experience, and she brings that perspective to sessions without assuming everyone’s journey is the same. She encourages people to take small steps, make clearer choices and build greater self-value over time.

Approaches that suit online working

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and what matters to them. It gives space to talk and helps the therapist understand priorities and feelings. This approach can be useful for people wanting to explore self-worth, grief or relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. It uses straightforward exercises to try different responses and test what helps reduce anxiety or anger. This approach is often practical and goal-focused.

Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce overwhelm and reconnect with the body. Combined with somatic noticing, it can help when emotions feel physically intense.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful, based on their goals and preferences. Sessions can shift as a person makes progress or faces new challenges.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit into a busy day, avoid travel time and allow check-ins from quieter surroundings. Others prefer in-person meetings for a different feeling of presence, so discuss what suits you when arranging the first appointment.
