Julia Harvey , BACP

Julia Harvey is a UK-based therapist and coach with 20 years of professional experience and membership of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which denotes membership in a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She specialises in guiding people through stress and anxiety, grief and loss, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence struggles, long-term health challenges and career difficulties, using a holistic blend of counselling and coaching.

Julia creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings honestly. She encourages clients to take the courageous first step toward therapy and supports them in reconnecting with their own resources. Working with a fresh perspective, she helps people kick-start renewal and regain a sense of agency, gently shifting responsibility away from external pressures and toward intuitive self-awareness.

Her practice emphasises walking alongside clients - offering calm, soulful encouragement as clients become their own investigators and healers. Julia draws on personal experience of overcoming Myalgic Encephalomyelitis in her twenties and shares practical guidance in her fourth book, published in March 2025, The Way of the Boomerang; My Journey to ReBalance My Health with a Roadmap to Navigate Yours, which outlines a Six Ways Roadmap for coping with illness, stress and life challenges. She welcomes new clients and looks forward to working together.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Julia Harvey uses client-centered therapy to place the client's experience at the heart of the work. This approach focuses on active listening, empathy and supporting clients to find their own solutions, making it well suited to issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life transitions.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, which teaches practical ways to bring attention to the present moment and to notice thoughts and feelings without judgment. Mindfulness can help with managing anxiety, stress and symptoms of persistent low energy by building awareness and calmer responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Julia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. She and the client explore options together and adapt the mix of techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to book sessions around work, family and health commitments. These formats offer flexibility and consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists, helping clients maintain momentum in their work without adding travel or scheduling strain.
