⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "First time meeting Julie and she's mentally sorted me out. The most loveliest, kindest women I've met. She figured me out instantly and guided me so much in a few meetings. Honestly can't recommend this wonderful women enough."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I could not highly recommend a counsellor as much as Julie. I have been seeing her for nearly a year now and she has helped me overcome so much. During my recent session, Julie supported me with reflecting on my recent achievements and it was such an enlightening experience to realise how far I've came. From personal struggles, career, social - she has helped me understand how my ADHD intertwines with it all and we have had a lot of 'lightbulb' moments to help me connect the dots, most significantly with guiding me to ask for reasonable adjustments, which were accepted by my job. My confidence has improved so much with setting boundaries and being compassionate with myself. Julie is incredibly understanding, kind and down to earth, and I honestly look forward to each session. Each session feels like a big hug. If you are looking for an ADHD/Autism/Neurodivergent counsellor, I strongly recommend Julie."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “When I first started working with Julie, I was considering leaving my career in healthcare.
I was extremely burnt out and unable to meet my own needs both at work and in my home life. Due to having likely undiagnosed ADHD, I was working in a way that was extremely harmful to my mental health.
With help and support from Julie, I was able to advocate for myself in requesting reasonable adjustments alongside using practical advice from our sessions to help pace work, regulate my emotions, understand my neurotype, and my physical and emotional needs.
This has made a huge difference to my quality of life and my ability to cope with challenges”

Neurodiversity Training Reviews
“I found the session really insightful, Julie was really engaging and shared not only her personal experience of neurodivergence but that of others in such a refreshing way, it really helped me within my role to understand what I can do better to make people feel more comfortable and included. The quote at the end was inspiring. Thank you, Julie, for being so open with us all and please keep doing what you’re doing”
Amanda
"Thank you so much Julie, it was great to have you join us at St Luke’s and I know that everyone who was present today, really valued the session – I’ve heard the corridor conversations!"
Katie
“The session with Julie was really interesting and provided some good organic discussions and suggestions about how we can make improvements to how we work and our communications to be more accessible to all. Julie made everyone feel comfortable which encouraged some really good discussions.”

“Loved the session yesterday and was inspired by Julie, she was amazing talking in front of us all and sharing experiences. She was so honest and informative and really got my brain thinking! For me it was an eye opener, it has definitely got my brain into gear. It has made me more aware and helped me understand how someone people must feel. On a more personal note, it was good to hear Julie talking about the female masking, her experiences and similar symptoms to our family member who is definitely undiagnosed but is neurodivergent.
I am going to look at her website at the weekend, and could have spent all day listing to her experiences, she was so warm, friendly and genuine. Am quite happy to take part in any workshops etc that may come up as I find this so interesting and so good to share experiences with others 😊.”
Liz
"Julie was a fab speaker, honest and informative. I am grateful she shared her own personal story. I took some top tips away from the session. It will help me in my role as a mental health first aider a lot as I am discussing a lot of the issues covered and this will help to inform my support."
Jemma
“As a parent of 2 neurodivergent children, I really appreciated the session. Julie was so honest and vulnerable that I couldn’t help but warm to her instantly.
The content was pitched at the right level and it made me have a good think about the things I can do at work to give everyone the best chance of success.”
Stephen
“Thank you for organising yesterday, and to Julie for delivering such an engaging and informative session.
It was wonderful to hear Julie’s lived experiences first-hand, and it was a really thought-provoking session for how we could make some positive improvements here at St Luke’s.
We all thought she did amazingly and was a great, engaging speaker.”
