Psychotherapy & Counselling
Psychotherapy and counselling in Chesham & Amersham
I’m Julie McHugh, a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist offering counselling and psychotherapy for adults and couples in Chesham and online. I welcome clients from Amersham, Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding areas.
You may be facing a particular difficulty, struggling in a relationship, or feeling that something isn’t quite right without knowing why. I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel heard and explore what is happening at your own pace.
Support with life’s difficulties
There are many reasons people come to therapy. You might be experiencing anxiety, depression or low self-esteem, coping with bereavement, or navigating separation and divorce. Past experiences or difficulties in your relationships may also be affecting how you feel today.
You don’t need to have everything worked out before seeking support. Together, we can explore what has brought you to therapy and begin to understand the feelings and patterns that may be making life difficult.
A personal approach to therapy
Couples counselling
The relationship between you and your therapist is an important part of the work. I aim to provide a caring, supportive environment where you feel comfortable being yourself.
My approach is integrative, drawing on different therapeutic perspectives to suit the person I am working with. I now work predominantly with Internal Family Systems (IFS), which offers a way of exploring and understanding the different parts of ourselves.
I offer both short-term counselling focused on a particular concern and longer-term psychotherapy, allowing more time to explore deeper feelings, experiences and recurring patterns.
When communication becomes difficult or you feel disconnected from your partner, it can be hard to know how to move forward.
I offer a supportive space for both of you to talk, listen and explore what is happening in your relationship. We can work together to understand recurring difficulties, express your needs more clearly and consider the changes you each want to make.
Sessions in Chesham and online
I offer face-to-face sessions in Chesham, welcoming people from nearby Amersham, Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire areas.
Online sessions are also available if you prefer to meet remotely or find it difficult to attend in person.
