Julie Ramsden

I work Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays through most of the year. 

Mostly Face to face work, but I can offer video or phone sessions where preferred. 

I also offer Home visits and walk and talk therapy after a longer assessment process.

Counselling session are 50 minutes long.

Welcome! I'm Julie, I'd like to offer you a warm and welcoming space to talk about anything that is taking up too much headspace for you. 

Life can be tough, sometimes it can be hard to talk openly to family and friends. I offer a safe, confidential and non judgemental space to talk things through. To be really heard and understood  gives confidence to delve deeper, to look at things that feel to have been pushed into a dark corner, to find a way of moving forwards.

I'm a qualified and accredited person centred psychotherapist with a love of people in all their diversity , quirkiness and contradictions.

I work with you towards your aims, at your pace. It's really important for me for you to be comfortable and feel at your ease in a counselling session.

As well as being a person centred (or humanistic) psychotherapist, I sometimes explain parts of human psychology to clients to help them view what they are experiencing is a normal reaction to an abnormal event.

My counselling practice is called 'Ere for you, I aim to be precisely that. 

I specialise in working with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, all forms of bereavement (including by suicide), life transitions (divorce, retirement, redundancy, children leaving the nest) low mood and low self worth, fertility issues and miscarriage.

I have a lot of experience in working with identity issues, trauma, relationships, work stress, addictive behaviours, OCD and the menopause.

I worked as a volunteer counsellor For Bradford Bereavement for five years, before that as a Homestart volunteer helping families struggling or in crisis. I used to be a spokeswoman for the Miscarriage Association after a difficult journey to become a mother. 

I'm a keen dog walker and coffee shop visitor.

I offer a free of charge initial assessment of about thirty minutes to see what you would like from counselling and to discuss how we could work together. 

We can arrange the assessment online/ on the phone or possibly face to face at a convenient time for you.
