Julie Baker

Many people think about creating a better life for themselves and their families, and what that looks like varies from person to person. For some it means a happier, less stressful day-to-day existence or a healthier work-life balance. For others it means having the energy to face each morning, feeling less anxious in social situations, or overcoming a long-standing fear. Julie Baker works with people who have struggled with depression, anxiety, anger and other difficult emotions, offering support to help manage those challenges.

Julie understands that it can be hard to talk about problems or to put feelings into words. She supports clients through therapy at a pace that feels comfortable, providing a safe space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgement. Working together, she helps people develop skills and strategies to cope with life’s challenges so they feel better equipped in the future.

Julie is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings 16 years of professional experience. She practises Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centred Counselling and has experience helping with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and depression. Her approach focuses on creating an open, supportive environment in which clients can share and reflect.

Her background includes roles in a Young Offenders Institution, residential care for children with emotional and behavioural difficulties, Social Services supporting young people who had been in care, CRUSE Bereavement Care, and most recently the NHS. Julie is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), and she adheres to their professional codes and ethics.

Julie is fully insured, receives regular supervision and takes part in ongoing training as part of her continued professional development to maintain high standards of practice. The most rewarding part of her work is witnessing the progress people make as they challenge themselves, learn new connections, and take steps toward the better life they have wanted.
