ENLIGHTEN PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICE
Supporting you to be the best version of yourself
Julie Proudley MA Counselling Psychology MBACP,
Psychotherapy Service
The heart of my Psychotherapy Service is person-centered and I will always follow the client's lead as to their goal for the therapeutic work. My passion, however, is to support the awakening of the authentic self. We all have created distractions, defences, masks, and personas in our life in order to cope with past traumas, conditioning, challenges, and beliefs about living in the world. These would have served us well at one point but if left running can create anxiety, depression or feelings of stagnation and dis-ease. I have witnessed people’s lives changing dramatically for the better when they have had the courage to look at these honestly with support.
It is hard to do this process by yourself or with only friends and family for support and the safe, neutral, and consistent container provided by the therapeutic space will create the best conditions to support this. Even though it can be difficult, having the courage to do the inner work and look honestly at ourselves can really support positive changes in our life. Therapy can transform not only how you feel about something but also the trajectory of your life moving forward.
If you are struggling at the moment due to external circumstances, stresses, worries, etc. I am offering an opportunity to transform your sense of well-being and health. I believe the challenges and stresses of life, be they physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual, can often be the triggers that give us the chance to really look at our life and what we want to change as well as a chance to deepen our relationship to ourselves.

Client experiences
"I have recently been reflecting on how content I am with my life at the moment, and although I know things naturally go up and down, I am so pleased that I am in this position since it didn't feel like a possibility a year ago. I feel much more equipped to deal with difficult situations, and that things are generally more peaceful and calm. "
“I worked with Julie Proudley for just over 7 months, working around anxiety, childhood trauma & emotional competence guidance. Julie understood exactly what I needed and helped me to see situations from a different perspective. She helped me gain confidence, self-knowledge & appropriate boundaries"
Julie’s support has been really pivotal in my well-being. I started seeing her due feelings of low self worth, difficult in relationships, and heightened symptoms of a chronic mental health condition. Since seeing Julie I’ve grown a lot of resilience and ability to regulate, which has in turn supported my relationships. My loved ones have noticed the change in me
"I was thinking about therapy for a year before I built up the courage to go. It turned out to be one the best decision I have ever made, and I am enormously grateful to all the work Julie did with me. She helped and guided me around relationships, boundaries and self-beliefs. I think completely differently about many things now, and carry with me everyday what I discovered and learnt.
"I began therapy as I had a persistent feeling of disconnect with myself. I felt let down by how my life had "turned out", and struggled with romantic relationships. I thought I should probably try counselling but I was apprehensive about it. I found working with Julie an immediate relief. I now understand myself far better, and the initial shock of this (it is sometimes surprising finding out what you really think!) has given way to a sense of peace, and confidence in who I am. "
