Julia Mansell

Hello my name is Julia. I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ Accredited Counsellor. 

Asking for support takes courage and I believe that understanding & healing can happen when we feel safe enough to be our true selves. I offer a warm, confidential space where you feel heard and understood in a supportive and non-judgmental way.

 You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, misunderstood, disconnected from others. The reasons behind these feelings might be obvious to you, or perhaps seem like a mystery, and despite trying to convince yourself that all is well, those thoughts and feelings are all too real and continue to trouble you.

We will work at your pace with what you feel comfortable sharing. This might include unresolved feelings from the past, conflicts in the present or worries about the future. You will always get to decide what you share and I will use my professional skills to support you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, a greater awareness of your choices in working towards personal growth and the possibility of change.  

I can provide both short-term and long-term counselling for individuals or couples. I offer 'in person' counselling as well as offering an online / telephone alternative if preferred. 

I understand that not everyone knows what they want from therapy or how to choose a therapist to suit their needs. For this reason I offer a free 20-30 minute introductory call on the telephone or Teams. 

I am experienced in working with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, sexual identity, work related stress, burn-out, attachment disorder, grief and loss. 

My integrative training allows me to adapt different modalities of counselling and psychotherapy to best suit your therapeutic needs. 

I  have worked in an agency setting, secondary schools and now in private practice. I also have 20+ years of experience working in a large sales organisation where I was a passionate advocate of education around positive mental health in the workplace.

As an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists I abide by the professional standards set out in the Â鶹ԭ´´ Ethical Framework for Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

Book a free introductory call with me on the telephone or Teams. This no obligation conversation will give me an opportunity to learn a little more about your hopes for counselling, it will give you a chance to ask any questions you have about me and the way we might work together, and for you to get a sense of how it feels like to talk together. 

From there you can make an informed decision as to whether you would like to begin working together.
