Meet The Team

My name is Julie and I am an Integrative Therapist and work with CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), TA (Transactional Analysis) and PC (Person Centred Therapy).

I am a very energetic person who loves the outdoors, especially on the beach and love water sports in the sea. Being out in my kayak riding the waves or paddle boarding makes me feel so relaxed and happy – no matter what the British weather is like! I also love walking, running and spending time with my family.

I find nothing more satisfying than working with people and helping them to feel better, gain more confidence and start enjoying life whether this is children or adults.

I have spent my whole working life either with Greater Manchester Police or within the Children’s Social Care on the front line. Having been employed by a Local Authority for almost 35 years I have worked mostly within the safeguarding teams but also for the Early Help team too.

I have a particular interest in Domestic Violence and this has been my main role on the front line within social care for the latter years of my career working with victims, perpetrators and also children. I am trained to deliver the Freedom Programme for Women and the Freedom for Men and have also spent many years delivering the Surviving Teenager’s parenting courses for the Local Authority. I have to say, working with teenagers is also a passion of mine and I get so much satisfaction from supporting them through their most difficult years. Also, I get great satisfaction supporting families and teenagers to re-connect.

As I have been working part-time within social care I was fortunate enough to also qualify and work as an Integrative Therapist and have been very lucky to work with Intraquest Wellbeing Centre for the past couple of years which I feel is the most welcoming and loveliest place ever to work!

I have a wealth of knowledge and experience within a range of issues and love to welcome my clients with open arms, empathy and gentleness.

Trained in person-centred counselling, transactional analysis & Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
