Julie Storr

Julie Storr brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to counselling. She draws on ten years of experience and prior work managing hospitality businesses to relate to the pressures of working life. Julie (BACP, NCPS) aims to make the first session simple and straightforward so people can decide if she feels like the right fit.

Julie trained as an integrative counsellor and studied a range of methods such as cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. She uses elements from different approaches to match what each person needs rather than following a fixed formula. Sessions are built around what matters to the individual and what they hope to change.

Her work often focuses on everyday stresses - anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy questions, self-esteem and life transitions. She also supports people exploring sexuality, including BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, and non-traditional relationship structures like polyamory and other forms of non-monogamy.

Julie also helps with issues such as grief, fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, postpartum depression, career and money worries, communication problems and the fallout from separation or infidelity. She prefers a conversational style that combines practical steps with time to reflect.

Clients can expect an initial chat to see if they are comfortable working together, followed by sessions that aim to set clear, achievable goals. Julie encourages people to contact her and to use that first meeting to decide whether to continue.

How Julie's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgement. This approach helps when someone needs time to talk through feelings and to feel heard while they work out what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going, which can suit people wanting clear tools to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using more practical CBT techniques, more reflective client-centred conversation, or a mix of both as needs change.

Check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth, as some formats need less data. When you book, you can discuss how to structure sessions so they work with your everyday life.
