Julia Neesam – BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist
Julia Neesam
Online CBT for Anxiety, Trauma and Postnatal Mental Health
I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) with over 10 years’ experience working within the NHS, alongside my work in private practice. I work with adults aged 18 and over, providing a warm, compassionate and supportive space where clients can explore their difficulties, develop greater self-understanding and make meaningful changes.
I hold a three-year degree in Psychology, a postgraduate CBT diploma from Sheffield Hallam University and a postgraduate certificate in CBT from the University of York. Alongside my core CBT training, I have undertaken further professional development in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness and Trauma-Focused CBT.
My approach is collaborative, flexible and tailored to each individual. I draw on evidence-based psychological therapies to help clients understand the links between their thoughts, feelings and behaviours, recognise unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies to manage their difficulties. I also place importance on understanding how past experiences can influence present-day thoughts, feelings and relationships.
I have experience supporting people with a wide range of difficulties, with particular interests in anxiety, trauma, postnatal anxiety and depression, and the emotional challenges that can arise through motherhood and life transitions.
I believe therapy should be individual to each person. My aim is to create a space where clients feel heard, understood and supported, whilst helping them build confidence, develop new coping strategies and make lasting changes.

Anxiety and Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Depression and low mood
