About Julie
Julie Gregory-Bateman offers a compassionate, practical approach to dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She introduces straightforward ways to talk about what is troubling someone and helps them find steps to feel differently. Julie uses an open, welcoming style so people can go at their own pace while working through painful memories or current pressures.
Julie draws on four years of experience alongside previous business roles in finance, logistics, procurement and hospitality. That background helps her understand work-related stress and practical life pressures. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and lists postgraduate study in integrative counselling and an advanced diploma in cognitive behavioural therapy.
In sessions she balances talk about the present with careful exploration of earlier experiences when that is helpful. This can make emotions like anger, shame or low self-esteem easier to understand and manage. She also describes herself as trauma-informed and has worked with sexual abuse and incest concerns as part of that practice.
Julie also offers support around ageing and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life matters, and the emotional impact of cancer alongside more common concerns such as relationship communication, money worries and isolation. Her way of working is client-focused and intended to help people re-evaluate their lives and move towards clearer decision making.
Outside therapy she and her family take part in local community projects and enjoy spending time outdoors with their dog. To begin, a short initial match process is used before arranging sessions.
How attachment, client-centred and CBT work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online conversations can help people spot patterns in how they connect with others and try different ways of relating.Client-centred counselling focuses on being heard without judgement. The therapist reflects back what is said and helps people arrive at their own answers; this can be useful for stress, low self-esteem and decision-making.
Cognitive behavioural approaches look at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. Together the therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking and test practical changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Julie will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, preferences and life situation. That choice can change as work proceeds and sessions are reviewed.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so sessions are more practical during the working day or caring commitments.
