About Julie
Julie Teao is an ACA counsellor in Australia with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self esteem and depression. Julie describes working to make it easier for clients to speak about difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
Julie takes a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. She listens to what people bring and helps them name the problems that feel most pressing. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than abstract theory. Julie can help with panic attacks, mood problems and the effects of discrimination and isolation.
She also supports people facing workplace strain, caregiver stress and relationship communication problems. For people wondering about life purpose or struggling as a young adult, Julie offers focused conversations about next steps and priorities. She can talk through forgiveness, self-love and rebuilding confidence after hard experiences.
Sessions are conducted in English and she practises from Australia. Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide discussions and to support clients in noticing patterns of thought and behaviour. The emphasis is on clarifying options and practising small changes that make daily life more manageable.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The subscription model is used for fees and can be cancelled at any time according to the service terms.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Julie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practising new behaviours. One common technique involves identifying and testing automatic thoughts so people can respond to situations with more choice rather than reactivity; this can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Another approach emphasises gradual exposure to feared situations or sensations to reduce avoidance and rebuild confidence, which is useful for panic attacks and social anxiety.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julie will discuss different methods during early sessions and adjust the plan based on the client's goals, preferences and how they respond in real sessions. The emphasis is on practical exercises and clear steps you can try between appointments.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit into a busy week, for example by using shorter check-ins or avoiding travel. Online sessions can also make it simpler to continue work after health changes or relocation, provided the therapist and client agree on a suitable arrangement.
