About Julie
Hello. My name is Julie Leatherland and I am a highly qualified, professionally trained, competent and experienced female therapist working in private and corporate practice in Northampton, offering a wide range of face-to-face therapies to both men, women and children.
I work as the corporate therapist for one of Northampton's largest financial institutions, and I also work in association with RED ARC Assured, a care advisory service providing Clinical Hypnotherapy and Counselling / Psychotherapy on a wide range of issues, worries or concerns.
I am a registered Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist with the Hypnotherapy Society, General Hypnotherapy Standards Council, Counselling Society and the NHS Trust Association for Complimentary Practitioners. I am also an accredited Clinical Hypnotherapist with Anxiety Uk, one of the Uk's leading anxiety charities, PTSD Help and the IBS Register. I have full professional and public liability insurance and hold a full CRB (Criminal Record Bureau) disclosure at enhanced level.
I have experienced first hand, both counselling and hypnotherapy as a client, on a particularly personal subject. I know how difficult it is to talk about your problems, thinking that the therapist is going to think you are stupid, wasting their time and that you should be able to sort it yourself out. But a good therapist is there to help you in a positive and beneficial way, to help you change your perspective in order to move on in your life. And believe me, once you start your journey, there is no going back. I can not describe what a wonderful experience it is, to finally get rid of your demons once and for all, and be proud in the knowledge that you, and you alone alone made that change.
From my own personal experience, I always try to offer warmth, compassion and a sense of humour when helping all my clients on sometimes a very difficult journey of change, and this is reflected in the amount of referals and recommendations I receive from previous satisfied clients and other outside agencies e.g. G.P's etc.
I have a special interest in working with clients to overcome their negative thoughts, feelings and emotions in a beneficial way, for one of confidence, positivity, balance and change.
I also enjoy and specialise in helping clients overcome their anxiety and panic, especially when experiencing irrational fears and phobias.
I also specialise in Advanced Smoking Cessation, and have had a very, very good success rate.
My personal ethos is to uses an integrated approach to my therapy, by using the best tools for the job, at the right time, and in the right way, to get the best results.
