Hello and welcome to the about Julie Page.

Ok .... here goes ...  I am an open, honest, warm and approachable female therapist, working full time in private practice in Northampton.

I always work in a very ethical and congruent way at all times.  I really listen to what you have to say, and offer a safe, non-judgmental and professional environment to allow you to be simply you.

My own personal journey through therapy

I have personally experienced firsthand, 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 either 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 cannot 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 referrals and recommendations I receive from previous satisfied clients and other outside agencies e.g. G.P's etc.

I have had clients that have travelled and come to see me from as far away as Wisbech (Cambridgshire), Bedford, Leicester, Milton Keynes, Oxford, Rugby and London.
