About Julie-Ann
Julie-Ann Huggins is a counsellor with five years' experience who works online from the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, and she offers a warm, interactive approach where people can speak openly about difficult thoughts and feelings. Her style aims to help people find clearer direction, improve day-to-day coping, and reconnect with meaning and purpose.
Julie-Ann blends several approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice alongside practical techniques from cognitive behavioural work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on small, achievable steps that make a difference between meetings. Her practice covers many common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, and issues around addiction and substance misuse. She also supports people dealing with attachment questions, life-stage changes, body image and career uncertainty.
The emphasis is on understanding how problems affect daily life and finding workable strategies. Julie-Ann describes her work as uplifting and solution-focused. She helps people explore how they interact with others and with their surroundings, and she encourages personal responsibility and practical change.
Conversations often include reflection on values, clearer goal-setting, and exercises to try between sessions. Online sessions are arranged to fit each person’s schedule and preferences. Julie-Ann accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.
New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential therapy helps people think about meaning, choice and responsibility in everyday life. It supports people who are struggling with purpose, life transitions, or feelings of emptiness by encouraging honest reflection about values and priorities.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviours and motivation by focusing on small, value-driven steps.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional responses. It is practical for people who want to understand patterns in relationships and improve communication and closeness.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try different techniques, and adapt the approach as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share between scheduled appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones.
