About Julie
Julie Durmush is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS) in the United Kingdom and has six years of practice. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, grief, ADHD, and issues around self‑esteem and LGBT matters. Sessions are offered in English and designed to help clients talk through what feels hard to name.
Julie’s core approach is client‑centred, and she mixes methods to match each person's needs. She uses Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness to help people notice feelings, patterns and reactions. Trauma‑focused techniques are part of her work when past events affect day‑to‑day life.
In sessions she listens without judgement and aims to understand what a person is experiencing. She also offers single sessions that use the wheel of life to map areas of satisfaction and strain. Julie has experience supporting adults and young people from a wide range of backgrounds, including work with emergency services.
Her practice is grounded in the National Counselling Society’s ethical framework, which guides how she works with clients. Practical tools and conversations are used alongside emotional reflection so people can try different ways of responding to problems. Sessions are client‑led and focus on the issues the person brings.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Julie uses Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people notice and name the emotions that underlie repeating relationship and attachment patterns. EFT focuses on feelings and interactional patterns to make emotions clearer and more manageable in daily life.She also draws on client‑centred principles, which mean sessions prioritise what the client brings and rely on listening and reflection. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical ways of changing responses; this can be useful for anxiety, mood problems and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then together they will decide which methods to use. This collaborative planning can change as the work progresses.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions around work and family demands, shorter check‑ins when time is limited, and avoiding travel. The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals will explain session length, frequency and any technical needs when you complete the matching questionnaire and arrange the first appointment.
