About Ms Alex Julien

Alex Julien is a psychologist who believes therapy can be about more than reducing symptoms. It can be a place to better understand ourselves, our relationships and the patterns that shape how we experience the world. Alex’s path into psychology was not entirely conventional. She initially studied psychology alongside business and never imagined she would spend her career as a therapist. That changed after an experience at a yoga and meditation centre in Greece introduced her to a different way of thinking about connection, self-understanding and what makes a meaningful life. That experience continues to shape the way Alex works today. Her approach is warm, relational and curious, creating space for people to explore not only what they are struggling with, but what may sit underneath it. She works with people experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, addiction, personality difficulties and psychosis, and welcomes people with complex or longstanding experiences of mental ill health. Alex draws on CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, ACT, DBT and Open Dialogue, adapting her approach to the person rather than the diagnosis. She is particularly interested in deeper therapeutic work with people who are curious about themselves and open to exploring the beliefs and experiences that may be shaping their lives.
