Julie-Ann Huggins

Julie-Ann Huggins is a BACP counsellor who offers warm, interactive support for people facing stress, anxiety and anger. She creates a non-judgemental space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Her aim is to help people find practical ways to feel better and to rediscover meaning and purpose in everyday life.

With five years' experience, Julie-Ann blends counselling and coaching to tailor sessions to each person's needs. She draws on a mix of approaches so conversations focus on what matters to the individual. Sessions are shaped around finding solutions, building confidence and improving day-to-day coping.

She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, bipolar and depression. Other areas she supports include self-esteem, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD and issues around intimacy and communication.

Julie-Ann uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. These are combined to create a personalised plan that suits the person's goals and situation.

Her practice emphasises practical change alongside reflection. Conversations may look at patterns of thinking and behaviour, values and relationships, and small steps to try between sessions. People who want a collaborative, action-focused approach often find this style helpful.

Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and are offered in English. Prospective clients who want to begin can follow the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule with her.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting pulled into them, and to act in ways that match their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress and managing strong emotions such as anger. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and sleeping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early bonds, helping people understand how these affect current relationships and emotional responses.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be decided together. Julie-Ann aims to collaborate with each person to find the right mix of methods. She will listen to your goals, try approaches that fit, and adjust the plan as you go along.

The original biography did not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote work makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins on a break. Online sessions can also let the therapist use worksheets and shared exercises during the meeting to support practical change.
