Julie Gregory-Bateman, BACP

Julie Gregory-Bateman is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with people who are feeling stressed, anxious, grieving or unsure how to move forward after life changes. Julie also supports those coping with trauma and abuse and people questioning their life purpose.

Julie uses both present-focused conversations and gentle exploration of past experiences. Some clients prefer to focus on current difficulties. Others find it useful to look back to understand where feelings like anger or self-doubt began. Julie helps people link those patterns to what is happening now so they can try different ways of coping.

She combines client-centred ways of working with cognitive behavioural methods and trauma-focused ideas. That means sessions often include listening, reflective questions and practical steps to test new behaviours or thoughts between meetings. Attachment-based thinking helps when relationships and connection are part of the problem.

Before counselling, Julie worked in business management in finance, logistics, procurement and hospitality. That background informs a practical approach to problem solving and everyday pressures. She has studied integrative counselling and psychotherapy at master’s level and has additional CBT training and dementia-related study.

Julie has experience helping people affected by domestic violence, abandonment, isolation and end-of-life issues. She can also support people facing health-related challenges, money worries or the emotional effects of major life transitions. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
