I help people overcome general stress, anxieties, chronic pain and/or single-incident trauma using EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). I work with all issues, but have a special interest in those related to medical procedures and processes, including pregnancy/adverse birth experiences. We can feel vulnerable, anxious or stressed when we have tests or treatment, diagnoses or long term conditions, and there are many potential triggers when attending healthcare settings. For some people this may result in avoiding healthcare altogether.

I am a qualified counsellor and mindset coach. Although I do work with men, my clients are usually women that feel stuck, because they have lost their identity having reached a cross-roads in their life; toxic or abusive relationships and other life problems, such as the loss of a job or a bereavement. I set up my business, Julie Bryan Life Therapy because, as an empath, I have a strong desire to help people who have been through similar issues to myself because I know from personal experience that there is a transformative journey ahead to recognising self-worth, unlocking our magic and planning for the future.

Do you feel impacted by difficult life problems as a result of coping with traumatic experiences, managing depression/anxiety or dealing with difficult emotions? Many people find it easier to talk to someone who they see as being separate or an "outsider" to their life rather than friends or family. I can help you make sense of events (past and ongoing) in your life and resolve complicated feelings linked to these. However, you don't have to be at crisis point or feel unwell to have counselling! Therapy can be used to better understanding of yourself, working to change things you want, increasing your self-esteem and for self-care.
