Julie Durmush , NCPS

Julie Durmush is a fully qualified therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She practices from a person-centred foundation while working integratively to tailor support to each individual - believing that every client is unique and deserves an approach matched to their needs and goals.

Julie places warmth, compassion, humility, and kindness at the centre of her work, emphasising a collaborative therapeutic relationship built on trust and careful listening. She aims to offer a consistently empathetic presence so clients feel heard and understood as they explore difficult feelings and life challenges. Registered with the National Counselling Society (NCPS), Julie follows established ethical standards to guide her practice.

Her caseload has included both adults and young people from diverse backgrounds, and she has experience supporting emergency services personnel. Julie has worked with a wide range of concerns such as stress and anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and issues related to LGBT identities. She also attends to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, dissociation, and workplace or childhood trauma.

Julie uses a variety of therapeutic methods to meet presenting needs, including Rewind Therapy and one-off sessions using the wheel of life to clarify areas of satisfaction and areas for growth. She welcomes the opportunity to support emotional well-being and help clients find clarity and hope for change.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online support

Julie blends client-centred work with practical, skills-based methods to create a flexible online therapy experience. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to promote self-awareness and personal growth - it is helpful for exploring identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences with care and pacing - it can support recovery from abuse, PTSD, and complex trauma.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the collaborative process. Julie works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and tailors interventions accordingly so the therapeutic plan fits the individual rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy with Julie is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or other convenient locations and allow therapists and licensed professionals to adapt session formats to what works best for each client.
