About Julie
Julie Jamieson is an ACA counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. She works with clients who are managing major life changes, addiction concerns, ADHD and relationship strain. Her style is calm and direct, aiming to make therapy feel practical and manageable.
Julie uses a mix of somatic-based work and talking therapies to help people notice how their body and emotions connect. She starts by listening to your story and then agrees on small, clear goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include breathing, grounding exercises and step-by-step strategies for coping in day-to-day life. Her approach draws on attachment-based methods to look at how past relationships influence current patterns. She also uses task-focused tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy when these suit a person’s needs.
The aim is to combine understanding with things you can try between sessions. Julie has five years of clinical experience in Australia. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and where practical change is possible.
People can expect straightforward language and concrete tools rather than technical jargon. She supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, dissociation, divorce and family of origin difficulties. Julie adapts sessions to each person’s situation and pace.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Julie blends somatic work with attachment-based and client-centred approaches. Somatic work helps people notice physical responses to stress and learn simple body-based practices to calm the nervous system. Attachment-based methods look at patterns formed in past relationships and help people change unhelpful ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person’s goals guide each session.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively to find what fits best for the person’s needs, goals and comfort. She adapts techniques over time, checking in about what feels useful and what needs changing.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access support from home, to use shorter check-ins when needed, and to practise skills between sessions. The variety of formats allows people to pick what suits their schedule and therapy goals, and Julie tailors exercises to work well in whichever format is chosen.
