Julia offers online counselling and therapy services for people ranging in age from teenagers to older adults. She is LGBTQ2S+ friendly, and can provide individual therapy sessions, relationship/couple's sessions including supporting alternative relationship structures, and family sessions. The most important outcome of therapy is that her clients feel it has been useful and that positive change has occurred in their lives, while experiencing a safe, comfortable, and healing atmosphere. Julia's philosophy of therapy is that it is an exchange. You don't come to a counsellor to be fixed," rather, you share your experience of the concerns you face and the changes you want to make, while your counsellor offers ideas and suggestions. Julia always privileges her client's perspective and wishes, and all recommendations she offers are informed by ten years of practice and the leading research in narrative therapy and mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural therapy. Together, you and Julia will use your combined knowledge to better understand the problem, how it came to be present in your life, and how you would like things to look different. You then create a doable plan to get there and progressively work away on it with Julia's assistance.
