About Julian
Julian Hart is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 30 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. He also helps with grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, career questions and issues around life purpose.
Julian aims to offer professional, effective therapy that focuses on the problems a person brings. He looks to help people find practical ways to manage symptoms and everyday difficulties. He teaches tools that can be used after sessions end so people can handle similar problems in future.
His background began with integrative therapeutic counselling, which means he draws on several theoretical models rather than one single method. He also trained in cognitive behavioural therapy, which he uses to address anxiety disorders such as panic, phobias, obsessive thoughts and post-traumatic stress, as well as mood difficulties.
In sessions he combines acceptance and commitment ideas with client-centred listening to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, manageable steps. He brings existential perspectives when people are questioning meaning, midlife choices or life purpose.
People can expect straightforward conversation and practical techniques. Julian works to resolve the immediate problem while also building skills for coping with future setbacks and changes.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Julian draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on meaningful actions. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and questions about life purpose.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to practise different responses. CBT is often chosen for panic, phobias, obsessive thoughts and many forms of anxiety and depression.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Julian will work with the person to choose methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences and will adjust over time based on how someone responds.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. They also let people use techniques and homework between meetings so progress can continue outside sessions.
