About Julie
Julie Gregory-Bateman is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She works at a calm pace and encourages clients to talk through what feels difficult right now. Julie aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space so people can think clearly about next steps.
Julie uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Some sessions look at current feelings and practical coping strategies. Other sessions explore earlier experiences to understand patterns that affect how someone feels today. This combination can help reduce overwhelm and make day-to-day decisions easier.
She draws on four years of practice and brings experience from a prior career in business management. That background informs a practical way of thinking about problems, such as money worries or work stress, alongside emotional concerns like shame or isolation.
Julie is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has qualifications in integrative counselling and psychotherapy and additional study in cognitive behavioural approaches and dementia care.
People often come to Julie for support with trauma and abuse, coping with natural or human-caused disaster, relationship difficulties such as commitment and communication problems, and end-of-life or hospice concerns. She also works with issues around self-esteem, control, and life purpose.

How these approaches work in online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and develop different ways of relating and feeling safer with others.Client-centred therapy offers space to be heard without judgement. It prioritises the person’s pace and what matters most to them, making it useful for stress, loneliness, or when someone needs a steady supportive space.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, low mood or control issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which ways of working might suit them best. Decisions about techniques and focus are made together as the relationship develops.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks. If you need details about specific session formats offered by this therapist, confirm the current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help them keep continuity of care while managing practical demands.
