Julie Jamieson, ACA

Julie Jamieson welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to start. She writes in a calm, direct way and aims to make the first steps easier to take. Julie is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia and brings five years of hands-on experience to her sessions.

She focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety and depression, alongside relationship strain, trauma and addiction concerns. Julie also helps people managing life changes, ADHD and the burnout that comes from caregiving or chronic illness. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person.

Julie uses talking, practical strategies and gentle exploration of past patterns to help people understand what is happening now. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and on cognitive work to change unhelpful thinking. Other approaches she uses include dialectical behaviour ideas and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing when trauma is involved.

Her sessions aim to build clearer coping tools, steadier emotional control and better ways of communicating. Julie works with people to set realistic goals and test small changes between sessions. She believes progress comes from practical steps and honest conversation.

If you want to begin, Julie asks that you follow the site process to match with her and schedule a first session. All work is done in English and she does not take international clients at this time.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Julie uses attachment-based methods to look at how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviours, helping people understand patterns that affect trust and communication. This approach can be useful for relationship strain and attachment issues.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies to change them, which suits anxiety, stress and mood management. For trauma, Julie may incorporate eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing to address distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie treats this as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods fit best with a person’s goals, needs and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find remote sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy lives, keeping appointments on workdays, managing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding travel time. Julie will help tailor therapy to match your day-to-day routine and goals.
