Julia

Julia qualified as a psychodynamic psychotherapist twenty years ago. She worked full time in the NHS for ten years as a Specialist Adult Psychotherapist, and has been in private practice since then. She first encountered motivational interviewing while taking an NHS training in Dual Diagnosis, and also qualified as a Practitioner in Mentalisation Based Therapy at that time. Julia has also enjoyed a couple of parenting courses along the way. She is fascinated by how we use words, in how therapy can “make the unconscious conscious”, and how the two connect. Julia trained with Relate in 2020, and has been working with couples since then. It seemed inevitable that this work would extend into the psychosexual domain, and she is now undertaking an Advanced Diploma in this area, as well as the Diploma in CSBD at the Laurel Centre.
