Julia Tolley - Professional Profile

MBACP, UKCP. Certified Transactional Analyst (Psycotherapist)

I have over 25 years personal development experience working with a variety of individuals from diverse backgrounds, seeking help for a wide range of issues and problems.
Initially qualified in the field of Human Resources Management in 1991, my professional contact with people was largely formal and I wanted to engage with people at a less formal and more supportive level. I qualified as a counsellor in 1994 and as an internal coach in 1999. I am based in the West Midlands.
Wanting to move further into the field of Psychotherapy, I started on a journey of discovery into the field of Transactional Analysis. I started my training and my practice in 1996, becoming a member of BACP and then accredited in 2006.
I qualified as a psychotherapist in 2007 after 11 years of investment for myself, and my clients, gaining UKCP accreditation as a result.
To be a psychotherapist you have to be in long term therapy and my own personal experience of this is one of healing, growth and freedom to be myself.
I continued with a Supervision qualification in 2007 and regularly take opportunities for Continuous Professional Development. On a regular basis I attend conferences, workshops and other learning environments.
I now provide services encompassing West Midlands counselling, coaching, psychotherapy and supervision.
