Julia Mair

I am currently accepting new clients. 

Please contact me for up-to-date availability. 

I am an integrative therapist, which means that I draw on a range of approaches (including evidence-based psychodynamic, existential, humanistic, and CBT modalities) and adapt how I work to meet your particular needs. My way of working is calm and boundaried but also informal and warm, I am not a ‘blank screen’ therapist who sits in silence. I aim to build a bond of trust and understanding with you, to meet you with compassion, and help you to join the dots between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

Often in therapy we explore a combination of current life events, past circumstances, and feelings about the future. I focus on helping you to understand yourself and your situation so that together we can work on building your long term resilience. My hope is that therapy will enable you to move forward with more awareness and new ways of thinking, relating, and coping.

I offer support in coping with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, work-related stress, overwhelm, a sense of being stuck, low self-esteem, disordered eating, bereavement and loss, infertility, life changes/crises.

Maybe a particular event or relationship has prompted you to seek therapy or maybe there is a block or an ingrained pattern which you want to address. It might be that you don’t have a clear reason but feel anxious or depressed, frustrated or despondent, and sense that something is ‘off’. Whether your difficulties are specific or vague, together we can look at what brings you to therapy and what needs to change so that life is more manageable and enjoyable.

Alongside general practice, I have a special interest in the creative industries and work related issues. Before training as a therapist, I worked as a television documentary producer and I understand the toll that high pressure, competitive, and creatively demanding work can take on emotional wellbeing. Typical issues that I support clients with include burnout, bullying, dealing with rejection, ‘imposter syndrome’, and the rollercoaster of working freelance.  

When you contact me we will arrange a time to have an initial session. This is a chance for us to explore what you’re looking for from therapy, what working together might be like, and whether I am a good match for you.

During the first session I will ask about your family history and key events in your life, as well as what is happening now. You are welcome to ask me about how I work or any questions you have about the therapy process.

If you would like to have a brief 15 min phone call before booking an initial session, then I am happy to arrange that with you. 

I offer sessions online or from my therapy room in Chiswick, W4.
