Background: Julia is a PACFA accredited counsellor with experience in schools, non-profit, and private mental health settings. She brings a holistic, inclusive, and justice-focused approach to her work.
Specialty: Julia specialises in supporting people who are unpacking gender and sexuality, responding to marginalisation, navigating life transitions and relationship difficulties, healing from diet culture, and managing stress, overwhelm, or low self-worth.
Approach: Julia uses an integrative therapeutic approach that emphasizes anti-oppressive and non-pathologizing frameworks. She values the unique skills, resources, and hard-won knowledge of each person and their community/s. Her goal is to co-create spaces where people can befriend all parts of themselves and untangle the effects of harmful narratives.
Perspective: Julia sees therapy as a space for genuine connection and meaning-making. Her style is compassionate and warm; building relationships of respect and curiosity where people can gain clarity on their experiences, skills, and preferences for life.

Important Notice
There are some people that our counsellors can’t work with – not because we don’t want to, but because we want you to have the best possible care.
If you currently experience domestic violence, are having a mental health crisis, are experiencing severe substance dependency issues, or other acute crises, we can’t provide you with the level of support you deserve. However, we will use your initial appointment to connect you with places that specialise in these issues, so you can get the best possible care.
All Rough Patch counsellors manage their own scheduling and administration. Click on a profile below to read more and send an email enquiry. In the rare event you don’t hear from a counsellor within 24 hours, please call us on 02 7226 0809
All of our counsellors generously reduce their usual fees to provide affordable mental healthcare to our community. They do not receive government rebates or funding to provide their services.
