Julie Leeper , BACP

Julie Leeper is a compassionate therapist and a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With six years of professional experience, she supports people facing a range of challenges including addictions, grief and loss, sleep difficulties, parenting struggles, and life transitions. She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, family and blended family difficulties, body image concerns, chronic illness and pain, and problems with communication and control.

Julie takes a client-centered approach, working collaboratively to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. She emphasizes practical coping strategies and emotional processing tailored to each person’s situation, helping clients build skills to manage impulses, reduce shame and guilt, and navigate relationship or family changes. Beginning therapy often requires courage, and Julie acknowledges that first step while offering steady support through the early stages of change.

Based in the United Kingdom, Julie accepts new clients and also works with international clients. She offers flexible ways to connect so people can choose the format that best fits their needs and lifestyle.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One approach centers on skills-based interventions that teach coping tools for managing impulses, substance use, sleep disturbances, and everyday stressors - these techniques help people replace unhelpful patterns with healthier routines and responses. Another strand of her work emphasizes grief-focused and emotion-focused support, offering space to process loss, reduce shame, and rebuild meaning after major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with clients to identify which techniques best match their goals, needs, and personal preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy with Julie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations, and choose the format that feels most supportive for each stage of change.
