Julie-Ann Huggins , BACP

Julie-Ann Huggins is an accredited counsellor and coach who holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She provides an open, nonjudgmental space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be explored and expressed. Her therapeutic manner is warm and interactive, aimed at helping people identify practical solutions, make meaningful improvements, and rediscover purpose and enjoyment in life.

Her work is informed by an uplifting counselling and psychotherapy approach that values natural cycles and personal leadership interventions to support lasting change. Using an interdisciplinary method, Julie-Ann tailors a bespoke online practice that promotes greater self-understanding and awareness of how individuals influence their environment and relationships. She supports a wide range of difficulties, including family situations, anxiety, depression, loss, climate-related distress, alcohol and drug misuse, ambiguous loss, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, and she also offers coaching for life transitions and goal-focused work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Julie-Ann Huggins draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps toward a life that matters to them. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal goals, useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. This approach can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and challenges linked to abandonment or blended family dynamics.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in her practice, offering practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often effective for anxiety, low mood, and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is worked out collaboratively. Julie-Ann will discuss options with clients and adapt methods to fit individual needs, goals, and preferences, alongside guidance from licensed professionals and therapists when appropriate.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support, continue work during life changes, and integrate therapy into everyday routines.
