Julie Teao

Julie Teao is an ACA counsellor with six years' experience working in Australia. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Julie aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to take steps toward change.

She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can name what is hard and try small, doable changes. Conversations are straightforward and respectful. Julie listens for what matters most and helps people set clear first steps.

Julie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with panic, panic attacks and mood difficulties. She also supports people dealing with workplace stress, social anxiety, loneliness and issues around identity or discrimination. Sessions often focus on coping strategies, managing intense emotions and improving everyday routines.

When anger is part of the picture, Julie works with the person to understand triggers and to develop safer, more effective ways of responding. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness questions and struggles with self-harm urges or self-love.

Her approach is collaborative. She helps each person set realistic goals and checks in on progress. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Julie aims to make that step clearer and more manageable.

How Julie uses evidence-based methods online

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and difficult thoughts. One common method focuses on practical coping strategies for anxiety and panic, teaching breathing, grounding and step-by-step approaches to reduce overwhelm. Another approach helps people examine patterns around anger and low mood, breaking problems into manageable parts and testing small changes to daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about what feels most useful and tailor methods to their goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and check progress along the way, changing direction if needed.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, study or caregiving, and it can allow shorter check-ins when people need quick support. It can also remove travel time and let conversations happen from wherever a person is located within Australia.
