Julian Hart, BACP

Julian Hart is a United Kingdom based counsellor and psychotherapist with 30 years of experience supporting people facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, relationship and family difficulties. He works with clients across a wide range of concerns, offering practical strategies and therapeutic support aimed at helping people feel lighter, more able to cope, and clearer about next steps.

He aims to provide professional, effective therapy tailored to the issues a person is experiencing, to work toward resolving those issues as efficiently as possible, and to equip people with tools they can use if challenges reappear. He also seeks to make the therapeutic experience positive and affirming, so people leave sessions with greater self-awareness and agency.

Originally trained in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling, Julian draws on a broad set of theoretical models so he can respond flexibly to each person’s needs. He also has specific training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, enabling focused work on conditions such as depression and a range of anxiety disorders including obsessive compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, health anxiety, panic, specific phobias and generalized anxiety. His clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT, and existential therapy.

Julian holds the BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. His practice addresses many areas including stress, grief, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties, anger, career concerns, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue, with additional focus on issues such as abandonment, chronic pain and illness, control issues, guilt and shame, life purpose and midlife transitions.
