Chances are, you are here because of hope.
A warm welcome to you. I am Julie Reekie, counsellor and therapist. I am here to help.
Maybe you hope to feel better, or hope to make a change in your life, or maybe you are feeling hopeless and are looking for someone or something that can help you feel hopeful again.
There are lots of reasons you might be seeking a therapist.
Loneliness, the loss of a relationship or the loss of a loved one, seeking to change a behaviour that holds you back, or simply feeling lost, confused and stuck.
Your hope and the reasons you are here matter.
I believe in your capacity to heal and grow.
But maybe not everyone in your life has supported you in this.
Maybe for you, the focus has been more about surviving. Or maybe you have learned to ignore your own inner knowing.
I have some abilities and experience that can help nurture your innate capacity to thrive.
Though there are many ways of working therapeutically, everyone is unique and what is most important is, that together we discover what is most helpful for you.
At the heart of how I work, is the relationship we build together.
It’s the safe container that will allow us to go where you need to go. You do not need to talk about or do anything that does not feel comfortable to you. I will work with you to build a relationship of mutual trust and respect from this foundation change is possible.
I’m here to support you in your healing journey.

“I want to age like sea glass, smoothed by tides but not broken. I want to ride the waves and go with the flow. I want to catch a wave and let it carry me to where I belong. I want to be picked up and held gently by those who delight in my well earned patina and appreciate the changes I went through.”
