A grounded and experienced approach
With over four decades of experience in mental health and counselling, John Julian offers a practical, compassionate, and deeply informed approach to therapy.
This work integrates cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and compassion-based approaches, alongside emotional regulation, relational understanding, and everyday practices that support steadiness and change.
What we offer
Individual counselling
Support for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, life transitions, and personal growth.
Relationship counselling
Helping couples improve communication, repair difficulties, and strengthen connection.
Mindfulness and compassion-based work
Including emotional regulation, grounding practices, and ongoing personal development.
Our approach
We usually begin with a simple understanding:
“Let’s meet for a few sessions and see what can happen, and whether this feels workable and useful.”
Therapy often unfolds in three broad stages:
- Support and stabilisation
- Working with specific difficulties
- Wellness and ongoing integration
