Julie Moorcroft

I see clients face to face on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday both during the day and evenings. In addition offer telephone/ online appointments at these times and on Fridays. 

I offer a warm, safe, professional, non-judgmental space where, together, we can access your inner resources to help you move forward with your life in a way that feels comfortable to you, promoting a sense of well being and growth.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and have extensive experience of working in the NHS and education sectors, this means I have the ability to draw upon different concepts to support you in exploring any difficulties you are experiencing. I have experience in dealing with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression and trauma. I have an interest in supporting clients to explore their childhood and gain insight into how this affects their current life. I am also experienced in supporting clients through challenging times, such as bereavement, relationship issues and changes in a client’s domestic life, friendships and work. I have worked with clients to explore specific life challenges and experiences such as physical changes, body image issues, illness and abuse.

I am a member of the BACP and my professional practice is guided by their ethical principles. I attend regular training and professional development in order to ensure that my practice is up to date and that I deliver a professional service to my clients.  

The counselling relationship is fundamental, I will work with you to develop our therapeutic relationship in order to promote an environment where you feel supported in our work together. Through either short or long term therapy my focus will be upon addressing the areas that are important to you, making our work together tailor-made to suit you as a unique individual. It is my aim to ensure that I work sensitively and at a pace which is comfortable for you as we explore your thoughts, emotions and life experiences

Once you have made contact with me I will arrange a 15 minute telephone conversation. This is so that I can understand what you want from counselling and allow you to ask any questions you may have.

I offer a free initial 30 minute session this gives you the opportunity to assess if I am the right counsellor for you. In this session you can ask any questions you may have and we will also discuss how I work as a counsellor.

If after this you want to start therapy with me I will complete a small amount of paperwork in the first session, which includes agreeing how we will work together.
