I am an experienced psychotherapist based in Bloomsbury, central London, and also provide psychotherapy online throughout the UK.

Living and working with people facing difficulties has always been part of my life.

I have a particular interest in working with adults who experienced abuse, neglect or other trauma in childhood. I also work with people experiencing dissociative symptoms, including depersonalisation, derealisation and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). You can read more about my work with trauma and dissociation here.

I also provide general psychotherapy and counselling. With forty years’ experience of providing coaching, mentoring and therapy, I aim to offer thoughtful, individual support whatever you are facing.

​More about Juline’s counselling and psychotherapy experience

My informal counselling experience began with providing peer-to-peer support for students. Later, I provided similar support for employees in the City (London’s financial district) who were struggling with self-destructive lifestyles. My early counselling skills were forged through living and working in a probation hostel for young men and providing support for homeless men with alcohol problems. Later, as part of my formal therapy training and post-qualification development, I worked as a volunteer counsellor for charities supporting:

  • people facing domestic violence or abuse
  • people who have lost a pregnancy, baby or child, including through miscarriage or termination
  • anyone who lost a family member in a road crash or been traumatised themselves
  • young people from aged 15 years upwards.

At different times, I have provided mentoring for young offenders and coaching for employees in various settings, as well as life coaching more generally. And, in the days before social media, I set up and ran an online support group for people with gender identity issues at a time when that need was much less catered for.

Juline’s work with marginalised and vulnerable people

As well as working with high-performing clients in the City, I have lived in two communities based on social justice. These were centred on working with people who are in some way marginalised, disadvantaged or vulnerable. I have worked for a wide range of organisations supporting the following client groups in counselling or non-counselling roles:

– people who are homeless– welfare rights
– people dependent on drugs or alcohol– housing rights
– perpetrators and survivors of domestic violence – human right violations
– young offenders (8-21 years old)– people with mental health problems
