Julia Harvey , BACP

Julia Harvey is a United Kingdom-based therapist and member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - with more than 20 years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem and confidence issues, long-term health challenges, career difficulties, relationship and family concerns, and a wide range of emotional and life-stage transitions. Her practice also addresses issues such as eating and sleeping problems, anger, depression, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related difficulties, with additional focus on adoption and foster care, attachment and family of origin issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, fertility and bereavement-related concerns, and other complex life stresses.

Working from a holistic counselling and coaching perspective, Julia creates an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and reconnect with their own motivation and intuition. She aims to empower people to take back control of their lives by combining practical coaching strategies with reflective, client-led exploration. Julia walks alongside clients as they investigate patterns, build resilience, and develop sustainable coping approaches.

In addition to her clinical work, Julia is an author. Her fourth book, The Way of the Boomerang - My Journey to ReBalance My Health with a Roadmap to Navigate Yours, was published in March 2025 and shares her personal recovery from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis along with a Six Ways Roadmap for managing illness, stress, and life challenges. Julia is accepting new clients in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Therapy

Julia Harvey draws on client-centered therapy and mindfulness therapy to guide online work in an accessible, practical way. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and responding to each person's experience - it helps when someone needs a supportive space to explore identity, relationships, self-esteem, or life transitions. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple, practical techniques for managing stress, anxiety, low mood, and the emotional impact of chronic health issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julia treats that as a collaborative journey. She works with clients to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting sessions so that the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Julia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and energy levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from licensed professionals without disrupting daily life, and they allow therapy to fit around work, caregiving, health appointments, and other commitments.
