Following a long career in the local finance industry, I decided to take a completely different route and in 2015 retrained to become a voluntary counsellor. I subsequently felt the need to expand my skills to support more people and, having seen the impact and effectiveness of Human Givens therapy, I undertook further training to qualify in this approach.

With a background in the creative arts and a long career in teaching dance and Pilates, I have always been passionate about encouraging people to overcome difficulties and achieve their goals in all areas of life. Working with the Human Givens approach has given me the structure to do this more effectively.

“It’s important to have a therapist you feel a connection with and Julie’s kind and supportive approach suited me 100%.”

I offer one-to-one in-person or online therapy sessions for a wide range of clients including children and young adults.

I am a registered member of the Human Givens Institute (HGI).

As a hearing aid audiologist, I have extensive experience in helping people with hearing difficulties. This understanding of people's needs and how to help them in the best and most practical way led me to specialise in psychotherapy, using the Human Givens model with its emphasis on the importance of meeting our emotional and physical needs to achieve emotional wellbeing.

“After my first session, I felt different, better, lighter, and I had been given hope … I cannot praise or thank Biljana enough as she has changed my life.”

I offer therapy sessions for adults and couples either in-person or online.
