About Julie
Julie Jamieson welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. She writes plainly and listens carefully so clients can talk about stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, ADHD and depression without judgement. Julie is introduced by name up front to make finding help feel more personal and less daunting.
Julie works in Australia and uses a collaborative style. She tailors sessions to each person and keeps the focus on what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to make difficult feelings easier to understand and to find small, realistic steps that fit everyday life. Her background includes five years of clinical practice and she holds ACA, the Australian Counselling Association credential. That experience underpins a practical approach that blends different ways of working depending on need.
Julie avoids one-size-fits-all plans and instead helps people try approaches that suit their situation. In sessions she helps people untangle patterns from past relationships, manage intense emotions, and build skills for day-to-day coping. She also supports people dealing with grief, major life change, chronic illness and the long shadow of past abuse.
Julie aims for clear, manageable goals. Meetings are conversational and paced to the client's comfort. She encourages people to take small steps and notices progress, even when it feels slow.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Julie directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and attachment approaches work online
Julie commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves. This approach focuses on separating the person from the problem, so clients can name unhelpful patterns and try new ways of understanding their choices and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy is also a core influence; it looks at how early bonds shape reactions and helps people develop safer ways to relate and regulate emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will listen to your goals and suggest methods that fit your needs and preferences. You can try different techniques together and decide what helps most as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls suit in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other daily demands.
