Julie "Jules" Clare

Julie "Jules" Clare is a UK-based counsellor with six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting difficulties, depression, grief, and a wide range of other life challenges. She approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert on their own story and that many of the strengths needed for change already exist within them. Seeking help is framed as a courageous first step, and Julie aims to offer encouragement and practical support as clients move toward greater fulfilment and wellbeing.

Julie holds a Diploma in Counselling accredited by CPCAB, which represents formal, vocational training in counselling, and she is an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She trained in Person-Centred Therapy and has continued professional development in Solution-Focused Therapy, Compassion-Focused approaches, Trauma-Informed Practice, and life coaching, alongside additional courses on mental health problems, self-harm and suicide, bereavement and loss, early trauma, and understanding autism and ADHD.

She works as a counsellor in higher education during term time and has a long background in caring professions. Julie offers an empathic, non-judgemental space where she and the client build a trusting relationship to explore emotional, physical and mental experiences. Her way of working is collaborative and strengths-based, inviting clients to examine beliefs and values and to reconnect with the resources that help them move toward a life that fits who they are.
