I’m a Person Centred Therapist and Counsellor with varied experience working therapeutically with adults.   Good therapy is built on the relationship between client and therapist.  I focus on listening to your story, your concerns and the self you want to share with me in order to offer you a non-judgemental and constructive space.  I feel passionately about offering therapy that is person-centred which means that I follow your lead whilst focusing on providing a nurturing environment for you to feel empathised with, understood and held as you work towards a deeper sense of yourself and place of healing.  

My name is Julia Fry and I offer individual psychotherapy / counselling sessions in central Brighton or online. I work with adults, children and young people of all races, genders, sexualities, abilities, etc. My sessions are always client-led and I warmly accompany you to explore at your own pace and in your own ways in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

I’m a psychologist and dramatherapist with a private practice in central London. I support adults through individual therapy with a range of different issues, such as confidence and self-esteem, gender and sexuality, stigma and shame, and experiences of sexual violence. No matter what brings you to therapy right now, I am passionate about helping you understand what is going on and what you need to feel better. If you are struggling with difficult past experiences, I can provide specialist trauma therapy.

I’m a gay man, and counsellor in London, I know for me, having a queer therapist allowed me to feel I was met in a special way, heard and held with familiarity of experience while still holding our difference. I hope I can guide you through whatever brings you to seek counselling with the same special care. Many practitioners write a list of issues they work with. I take a different approach. You are more than a label or a diagnosis, so let’s have a discussion to see how I can be of service to you.

I provide a confidential, non-judgemental space for you to become more self-aware and develop in your own unique way.  As you’ll have your own unique reasons for therapy, I encourage you to have an initial assessment session to find out whether I’m the right therapist for you, and for me to find out more about your needs. I offer an initial, free 15-minute consultation via phone. I offer eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy as well as counselling. EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy originally developed to address PTSD, but is now used for an increasingly broad range of difficulties

I work with individuals to firstly help you understand yourself authentically.  This means learning about who you are, your behaviour patterns and thought processes.  This will enable you to change unhealthy patterns, and relate to others more intimately.

I am a qualified and accredited psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist, with over 20 years of experience working with people from a wide range of ages and backgrounds.   I am committed to my work, and care deeply about people, their wellbeing and place in the world.   I am conscious of how difficult it can be to start talking openly, and my aim will always be to establish a safe, creative connection – so that what has perhaps previously been unspoken can be shared, processed and understood together.   I have worked in private practice, as well as many years

I provide a supportive space where you can address challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and external influences that may be limiting your sense of fulfilment. I understand that life can be tough, especially when past experiences and family dynamics continue to impact the present. Sometimes, these factors alone may not fully explain what you’re going through. My approach goes beyond individual symptoms by considering external stressors and internalised forms of oppression. With a background in sexual health and HIV research, I also bring experience in addressing the emotional and psychological challenges specific to these areas.

I am a UPCA accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor. Since 2011, I have worked as a psychotherapist and counsellor, support worker and group worker. As well as my private practice, I currently work for a young person’s charity supporting young queer humans navigate the many complexities inherent in growing up queer in a society that still ‘others’ – alongside the more ordinary complexities of what it means to be human.
