I have been to A LOT of therapists over the years and let me tell you. This lady is a shining light in that crowd. Julie Bailey listens to each word you feel and takes it into consideration. She is real, kind, and will ask what you need to be asked. If you want progress figure out your biggest downfalls you’re ready to look at and come to this one. It feels like she helps point you in the right direction after giving you a cold glass of tea and warning you about the rickety bridge round the bend. I’ve made immense progress with my panic attacks and mindset in the past year, she makes sure I know too, cheering me on each week. Checking in and patient. Nothing but supportive and encouraging of the healthiest sides of life. Thank you, Julie.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Julie is easily my favourite therapist. I’ve been comfortable with her from day 1 (it’s been over a year now) and I always feel I can be vulnerable with her. I feel safe and supported, regardless of whether we’re laughing about family life or working through trauma. I can share - or not share - whatever I like, but Julie will absolutely take note of things to explore later. I’m in good hands with her, after years and years of uncomfortable and negative therapy experiences.

My experience with Julie has been really great. I have grown so much and learned how to manage the feelings and thoughts that made me come to BetterHelp in the first place. The progress was a slow uprise each week. No intense or scary changes, just a slow and steady uplift to where I am today. It took a lot of self-work to learn how to control and manage my anxiety, stress and panic attacks. I feel so much more calm and self-respecting, and also I feel like I know myself so much more than I ever have before. Highly recommend :)
