I’m Julia.
Before we step onto the path of transformation, let me share the heart behind the practice.
It's been a journey! After years of struggling with ME/CFS, illness, asthma, burnout, physical injuries, and CPTSD, I learnt about the interconnected nature of illness, mind, and body and how to heal.
And so I hope to offer you the compassion to take your own journey. Â
Â
You are a beautiful soul; healing is the process of uncovering it through self-discovery, leading to sovereignty and serenity. Julia ♡
The Spiral
The Spiral mission is to facilitate your therapeutic journey toward personal fulfilment. I believe that healing isn't a straight line; it is a spiral. We revisit old wounds not to dwell, but to integrate them from a higher perspective of wisdom and strength.
I specialise in the complexities of relational trauma—understanding how toxic environments and interactions can constrict your soul’s capacity to live fully. Whether you are navigating CPTSD, anxiety, or the physical manifestations of emotional burnout; shame; or struggling to manage life's challenges right now. I provide a space for your story, reflections, and wisdom to build recovery.
The Path and Philosophy
Healing requires more than just talking; it requires an integrated approach toward the body, the mind, and the spirit to move in alignment. My practice is a blend of clinical precision and soulful intuition, informed by:
-
Humanistic & Outcome- Orientated Psychotherapy: Focused on your unique human experience – each person has their own story, and it is important to unpack the parts that no longer work.Â
- Trauma-Informed Interventions: A safe, collaborative space that honours your pace. Sometimes there is a need to consciously slow down, challenge, and contain. We find the right rhythm to do this.
-
Somatic & Symbolic Wisdom: This approach settles the nervous system and releases trauma stored in the tissues by engaging in sensory work with objects and images.
-
Positive and Coaching Psychology: Identifying your innate resilience and core values – you have a life to live and we need to build what that might look like
