Julie Gates

I am currently taking on new clients both Adult & Young People. 

Hi - I am Julie, I have been a therapist for the last 5 years and before that I worked in Education and Support for Parents and families. I work with adults & young people (9-18). Many of my clients come to me  struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship problems or low self esteem. Some maybe experiencing loss, changes within the family or may just need a safe space to explore their life choices.   My gentle and caring approach to counselling will help you to  explore your thoughts and feelings, find out what is holding you back and help you to find an inner strength to allow you to lead your best life. The Garden Room is tucked away in my back garden and is a lovely space for you to leave your worries behind and experience some time for yourself.

I use an integrative approach to my work, combining my Level 5 Counselling training with many years of supporting adults and young people in the community.  I like to work on an individual basis, with an aim to gentle support and guide you on your journey of self discovery so that you are more able to  be your true authentic self. 

I try to keep my costs as low as possible to ensure that they are affordable. I offer a free 20 minute discovery phone call, after which you will have your first session of around 45 mins, ( Assessment) where you can decide if you would like to go ahead with Counselling therapy. This session Costs £35 and can take place either face to face or online.  

Further sessions are £45 each and are around 50 mins either face to face or online. I also offer walk & Talk and other sessions such as Parent Support ( please see my website). A Young Person session is £35 and is for 45 mins.
