Julie Gravelle MBACP, Dip. Hyp

I can't thank Julie enough.She has made my outlook on weight loss seem a doddle by her understanding and positive mentality.I'd never even bought a set of scales, but now keep an eye on things" and although I still have a long way to go I am

Julie is incredibly kind and considerate, and genuinely cares about people. She has such a relaxing, calming nature, that you feel that you can talk to her about absolutely anything at all. I can be wary of new people, but I really liked Julie the first time I met her.Not only does Julie listen, but she’s a fantastic observer too, and creates a positive environment where you feel able to unravel, and work through any issues.Julie also seems to be able to perfectly tune into the same wavelength as her clients, but is able to filter out all the static and white noise, which can sometimes cloud one's judgement. I think this is just one of the many reasons why she is such an amazing counsellor.Julie will gently guide you. Reassure you. Encourage you. Build your confidence. Give you hope. She will help you to find your own way forwards, overcome those obstacles blocking your way, and you can be confident that Julie will be there for you, every step of the way.Reliable and accommodating, I couldn’t recommend a better counsellor. Top score from me.Stars out of 5: 5

I visitied Julie a year ago, as did my wife for hypnotherapy for help to give up smoking.I am very pleased to be able to report now, 1 year on that both me and my wife are both STILL SMOKE FREE.We have both tried too many times to count previously without success, so our success can only be down to the help from Julie.Highly recommended.Thank you again Julie

I have many mental health issues. I started seeing Julie 10years, and she changed my whole depressive state in two sessions. One of my issues is chronic social phobia. She told me that next week I'd get to my session 100% alone. And I did. I joked with her that not doing what she asked, and letting her down, was more important and terrifying than anything that could happen catching the bus alone.Julie is so down to earth and open to talk to. As I said, I've been seeing Julie for 10years. That's not straight. I see her for several sessions as and when I'm struggling with something. She's just awesome, always gives me a boost and I don't know what I would've done with her this last decade.What a wonderful, compassionate, down to earth woman; Julie Gravelle.

Testimonial for Julie Gravelle:We all have times in our lives when things become difficult. What most of us do is battle on in silence, often feeling very alone.We think that no-one will understand how we really feel, yet alone be able to help us to reach a resolution. Sometimes, when we try to talk, we are told we are “Being silly”, or people tell us what to do, and sometimes expect us to do it, even if it is not appropriate!That was me. Until I met Julie Gravelle. I had tried other two other counsellors, both of which were very negative experiences, so I was incredibly nervous and not expecting much before our first appointment.But Julie has such a wonderfully relaxed, calm and friendly nature, that I very quickly felt at ease and comfortable talking with her. I felt that she genuinely understood how I felt, and that, not only did she want to help me, but that she actually could.I left that appointment that day with something incredibly precious. Hope.There was so much going on in my head, that it was quite a tangle of knots, but Julie expertly and patiently unpicked those knots. She never told me what to do, but gently guided me in the right direction by asking questions that made me focus and to look at things in different ways. By doing this she enabled me to work out for myself a way to navigate around the obstacles that were blocking my path.I have never felt ‘silly’ whilst talking to Julie. She has never said “You’re wrong to feel like that” or judged me. She has never pushed me to discuss things, but allowed me to go at my own pace, and because of that, I have always felt able to talk to her about absolutely anything. And I have done!She is a fantastic listener, totally focused on what you are saying, (she is even able to keep up with my habit of going off in different directions, and talking about several things at once!). She is also amazingly empathetic, and no matter how dreadful I have felt at the beginning of an appointment, by the end, I have always left with that same feeling of hope that I felt at that first appointment.When others have pushed me down, Julie has given me strength, not just to get back up again, but to say that I deserve to be treated better.I know that Julie is always on my side because she genuinely cares about her clients. She has a wonderful gift and uses that to help people reach their full potential in many different aspects of their lives.Julie has made such a huge positive difference to my life, which I appreciate so much.When someone tells me about their own difficulties, I always suggest they speak to Julie, because I know that she will definitely be able to help, whatever and however large or small the problem.Rating for Julie Gravelle: 5* out of 5*

I have been fortunate enough to have had several sessions with Julie, to say she has worked miracles is an understatement. She understands like no one else and has a whole wealth of knowledge and advice that works through deep routed issues (in my case). She is very kind and a calming influence and more importantly I trust her and feel safe to open up. Thank you for all you have done for me and continue to do.

I've been seeing Julie for counselling and hypnotherapy over the last 18 months.I'd been struggling with a long-term health issue, which had affected my mental health significantly. Julie has helped me come to terms with the life changing situation, navigate a rollercoaster recovery, rebuild my confidence and learn how to be kinder to myself... and so much more!Julie has such a warm, caring and friendly manner, but is the ultimate professional too.I cannot thank her enough for everything she does. Highly recommended.
