Julie Gates

Julie Gates is a UK-credentialed, female therapist with five years of professional experience supporting adults, young people aged 9-18, and parents and carers. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem and confidence, and other related concerns.

Julie combines a client-centred approach with a strong focus on the therapeutic relationship, offering a gentle and supportive space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment. She often uses mindfulness techniques and creative strategies alongside a person-centred and psychodynamic orientation to help clients identify what may be holding them back and to build practical ways forward.

Her practice includes work with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related matters. Julie aims to empower people to take the courageous first steps toward greater fulfilment and wellbeing, meeting clients where they are and tailoring support to their needs.

Julie holds a Level 4 Diploma in Psychodynamic and Person Centred Counselling and a Level 5 Certificate in Counselling Children and Young People. The Level 4 diploma reflects advanced training in psychodynamic and person-centred methods, while the Level 5 certificate indicates specialised preparation for working with children and adolescents. She is credentialed in the United Kingdom and brings a compassionate, respectful style to her therapeutic work.
