Meet Julie
Counselling shaped around you
A warm, non-judgemental space
I’m Julie Howard BSc (Hons), FdSc, Mbacp, an integrative counsellor based in Runcorn, Cheshire. I aim to offer a calm space where you feel listened to and can talk openly.
An approach built around you
We can draw on person-centred, psychodynamic and other counselling approaches to explore your circumstances, thoughts and feelings. My sessions last 50 minutes, and we work at your pace.
Experience and understanding
I have worked with adults and young people across anxiety, depression, relationships, identity, self-esteem, grief, addictions and other concerns. I adhere to the BACP ethical code of conduct.
Training & experience
BSc (Hons) Counselling
Staffordshire University. Level 6 modules included PTSD, counselling children and young people, and a dissertation on self-perception, body image and self-worth of young women on social media.
Foundation degree (FdSc) Integrative Counselling
Staffordshire University. Levels 4 and 5 covered person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT counselling, understanding self, client case studies, personality disorders and group work.
Further training
NCFE Level 3 Diploma and NCFE Level 2 Integrative Counselling. Certificates in safeguarding vulnerable adults and children, suicide prevention and promoting mental wellbeing. Seminars on eating disorders, suicide awareness and mental wellbeing.
My path into counselling
After working in other roles and raising my children, I became a teaching assistant and safeguarding officer. Listening to young people inspired me to train in counselling. I later volunteered at Nightstop and now run my own practice in Runcorn. My own experiences have also shaped the understanding and compassion I bring to our work together.
You don’t need to know exactly what to say.
We can start with a conversation.
A free 15-minute consultation gives you time to ask questions, share a little about what is happening and decide whether counselling feels right for you.
