I love helping others to live their best lives – one with less stress, more meaning and purpose. I believe there is a connection between the mind, body and spirit and that addressing all these aspects is best in helping us grow and live more effective lives.
I provide a trusting, non-judgemental environment where I can work in a practical way to help develop your strengths, and help you create the life you want to live.
I originally trained and worked for many years in the UK as an Integrative/Transpersonal Psychotherapist and Counsellor. I have worked in London in Private Practice as well as the NHS as a Counsellor and in a Bereavement Centre. Once moving back to Cape Town, I have trained as an Accredited Life Coach, TRE Practitioner, and in Mindfulness (MBSR).
I now see clients face-to-face in Hout Bay, Cape Town, as well as via Skype throughout South Africa and Internationally.

Identify and shift negative beliefs and behaviours at a conscious and subconscious level.
Through a process of self-discovery, I will help you connect with your strengths and inner resources so that you can make more conscious choices about your life and relationships. I will assist you in achieving your goals – providing you with practical tools to manage your stress and help keep you focused and taking actions to make the necessary changes in your life.
We will explore what inspires and motivates you, your values, and what holds you back from taking your desired next steps. My work has primarily been influenced by Cognitive Psychology, Jung, Mindfulness, Positive Psychology, and many others. I believe that our lives are a journey of discovery and that we can choose to grow and find meaning in the difficulties we may encounter. I help my clients to become more authentic and self-compassionate.
After completing a Social Science degree at UCT, I went on to work in the corporate environment for a number of years which helped me to gain experience and understanding of that environment. I then moved to the UK where I did a 4-year U.K.C.P. accredited Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling Diploma. This was then followed by working in London and then Cape Town in Private Practice for over 15 years. Since returning to Cape Town, I have taken training as a level 2 TRE facilitator and completed courses in Mindfulness, Coaching, and Quantum Energy Coaching. I am registered with COMENSA as a Practitioner Member.

"I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become." – Carl Jung
Our lives have become more and more stressful as we juggle the various aspects of our lives and are faced with increasing choices and demands in an uncertain world. These stresses have a huge impact on our physical and emotional well-being and can often lead to "burn-out". As you begin to make changes in your life, I will help you learn how to release and manage your stress with Mindfulness, TRE, and Cognitive Coaching.

"Julie is a wonderful and caring person who has really helped me turn my life around. I started seeing Julie after the break-up of my marriage and she has helped me to re-vision and move forward with my life. I am now living a life I could only have dreamed of."
C.B.
"Julie is a wise and insightful coach who has expertly guided me on my journey. She has equipped me with practical ways of managing my stress and coping when I feel emotionally overwhelmed or stuck in negative thinking. I now have better work/life balance, am more assertive, and am learning to like myself. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a Coach. Julie is highly professional, has integrity, compassion, and gets results!"

"I first started to see Julie when I had just turned 50 and noticed that she worked with people going through 'Midlife transition'. Julie helped me recover from feeling depressed and anxious and to work through some work and family issues. I have also learnt how to take better care of myself and to set clearer boundaries with people."
"As I move around the globe on work assignments, it has been invaluable to work with Julie as a Coach via Skype – helping me with many aspects of my personal and work life. I highly recommend Julie to join you on your journey."
