I work Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays through much of the year. 

I work to each client's preference on format, I offer face to face, video or phone sessions. 

I also offer Home visits and walk and talk therapy after a longer assessment process.

I can usually work with changing session times to be able to work with clients that work shifts.

The longest waiting time to start therapy is just under three weeks, depending on my availability it could be shorter.

Welcome! I'm Julie, I'd like to offer you a warm and welcoming space to talk about anything that is taking up too much headspace for you. 

Life can be tough, sometimes it can be hard to talk openly to family and friends. I offer a safe, confidential and non judgemental space to talk things through. To be really heard and understood  gives people confidence to delve deeper, to look at things that feel to have been pushed down, to find a way of moving forwards.

I'm a qualified and accredited person centred therapist with a love of people in all their diversity , quirkiness and contradictions.

I work with you towards your aims, at your pace. It's really important for me for you to be comfortable and feel at your ease in a counselling session.

As well as being a person centred (or humanistic) therapist, I sometimes explain parts of human biology or psychology to clients to help them view what they are experiencing is a normal reaction to an abnormal event.

My counselling practice is called 'Ere for you, I aim to be precisely that. 

I specialise in working with low self worth, the neurospicy spectrum and all forms of bereavement (including by suicide)

I have a lot of experience working with identity issues, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, life transitions (divorce, retirement, redundancy, children leaving the nest) low mood, trauma, relationships, work stress, addictive behaviours, OCD and the menopause, fertility issues and miscarriage.

I work as a counsellor for Bradford Bereavement, and have done for the last seven years, before that as a Homestart volunteer helping families with young children struggling or in crisis. I used to be a spokeswoman for the Miscarriage Association after a difficult journey to become a mother. 

I'm a keen dog walker and coffee shop visitor. I'm a trustee and volunteer for a local "Friends of" charity looking after a local park.

I offer a free of charge initial assessment of about thirty minutes to discuss what you would like from counselling and to see if you would like to work with me. 

We can arrange the assessment online/ on the phone or possibly face to face at a convenient time for you.
