Therapy with Julia Hope

Whatever brings you to my profile today, I see you... I know how challenging it is to find a counsellor that gets it, and the anxiety this provokes in you to reach out. You do not have to walk this path alone. I know you feel all churned up inside, and are fed up with feeling nauseous and just unwell all the time. You may or may not understand why, but you have no energy anymore and feel numb. Perhaps you have nightmares and flashbacks and feel so so tired. You don't have to continue like this. You do not have to walk this path alone.

I am a down to earth person with a rich tapestry of lived experience in mental health. I was a foster child and am an adult adoptee. This gives me a unique perspective in all those areas. I chose to study Integrative counselling as it can be tailored to each individual person seeking help and gives me more skills to draw from. 

I know the courage it takes to walk into a room and say, “Something happened, and I don’t know how to carry it anymore.” I know the silence that can follow that sentence. The lump in the throat. The not knowing where to begin. That’s why I hold space the way I do now. Because I’ve sat in that seat. I know what a difference it makes to be met with care.
