The Space to Grow

An online service for people who would like to experience more peace and healing in their lives.

Hi, I'm Jules. 
I’m a humanistic therapist and a strong proponent of client autonomy. This means I'll always put your needs first and you’ll stay in control of your treatment from beginning to end. I'll encourage you to set goals and lead our sessions, but I’ll also be there whenever you need extra support, insight, or guidance. 

Due to the flexible nature of therapy, unforeseen issues may arise but, if they do, we’ll tackle them together. When uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, or traumatic events become difficult to articulate, I’ll meet you where you are, and we’ll move forward at your comfort level and pace. I’ll listen to you with an attentive, open mind; with patience, and understanding, and I'll always treat you with respect.

I specialise in helping people who have friends or loved ones who are suffering with issues around various substance dependencies/addictions. But I can also help the dependant person confront the underlying reasons for their addiction and engage them with multiagency assistance should they need that extra help. Additionally, I can help with burnout, compassion fatigue, PTSD, the different types of domestic abuse, anger management, depression, and anxiety. 

My practice predominately utilises the humanistic (listening/talking) approach with integrated aspects of the psychodynamic method, and CBT. Together, we can do the work, and I’ll try my best to ensure that our time together leaves you feeling more independent, empowered, and self-confident. 

 
 

It's Time for a Change
A bespoke therapeutic plan is your flexible pathway to wellness that is created by both you and your therapist. It’s flexible because, as you progress, your goals and motivations often change. 
These changes often occur when intense emotions and memories begin to surface. It’s okay if this happens, in fact, it signifies emotional growth and your desire for real change. 
As your therapeutic collaborator, I’ll try my utmost to help you feel accepted, understood, and supported as we navigate any potential new issues. Together, we can walk through the storm and into a brighter tomorrow.
Your Free Consultation

Our introductory 30-minute phone or video call is totally free of charge. This initial meeting provides you with the opportunity to tell me what has brought you to therapy, and gives me an idea of how I can best help you at this time. Once we've talked, if you’re happy to proceed, we can set a course for our work together. 
 
Right now, I’m working remotely, but I’m good on the phone, Zoom, Google Meets, WhatsApp or any other encrypted social media platform of your choosing. Digital safety and privacy are of the utmost importance to me, so our sessions will always be 100% secure and confidential.
