About

Welcome to Reset Therapies where my aim is to help you to find the solution that you are looking for to help you to resolve your specific issue.

This page will give you information about what happens at Reset Therapies and about the services offered. Please take some time to have a look around the website, and if you have any queries, I’d be happy to answer them

I work with anxiety and related disorders, fears and phobias, obsessive compulsive disorders, abuse and trauma.

I combine my therapeutic knowledge and skills to identify the best form of intervention for you. As I am trained in different methods, I use therapeutic approaches to find the right way forward for you. I have seen too many people who have been fitted into a therapy model and who come away feeling that they have not made the changes they were looking for. People are individual and unique, and one size does not fit all. At Reset Therapies your therapy is individual and targeted to your specific difficulty.  Because I know that people are individual, and so too are the things that they need to help to make changes. I offer an individual, bespoke approach which is aimed at helping you to make that positive progress.

My aims in working with you are to:

  • Understand your Issue …………… And know what you want to achieve.
  • Restore Balance ………………………. Enabling you to move forward with new resources.
  • Re-programme for Success …….. So that you can make those positive changes.
  • Empower You …………………………. With the skills needed to overcome any challenges.

What happens at the first Session?

Having identified your specific issue in detail, the intervention that will best address your issue is determined. Often this will be a combination of approaches using ways that are deemed to be most effective for helping you to achieve progress, but sometimes I may focus on a single intervention.  Your therapy is based on assessment, and I will set goals with you on what needs to be achieved to help you to make improvements. If there is more than one presenting problem, we will identify how they are to be addressed and what needs to be prioritised.

How many sessions will I need?

I’m often asked this question.  The answer is dependent upon a number of things, for example, how long you have had the problem for, how much it is impacting you, what you have tried before to resolve it, and other things too. Most difficulties that people experience have developed over time, and it is often not until something feels overwhelming or unresolvable that people actually seek therapy. So, the number of sessions needs to be based on a realistic understanding that change will take time too. It is important therefore, that you are realistic and are aware that you may need a number of sessions.

All clients are reviewed regularly, and progress is monitored until you reach your planned outcome. My aim is to get you to that point as soon as possible.

My biggest rewards and sense of achievement come from seeing people grow, heal their lives, and achieve their goals.

I needed help because of OCD which was affecting my daily life. I was initially scared of therapy, but hopeful as well. Now I don’t have to wash my hands constantly like I used to, there is less stress, I’m becoming myself again and I feel a lot happier in myself. There is a lot less stress in doing daily activities. Before, there was a point where I felt that OCD was my life forever, but my therapist helped so much. It changed my perspective on my fears and made me realise that I could overcome them. I am so grateful for the help Julie gave me, getting back to myself was something I didn’t expect to happen. The service was outstanding.

Emily P, Tamworth

I had been experiencing anxiety and agoraphobia. After suffering with these for many years, I felt it was time to seek help. My aim was to attend my son’s wedding without any anxiety, which Julie helped me to achieve. Julie has helped me to cope with my difficulties, giving me a more positive outlook on life, and has given me the confidence to overcome the problems I was experiencing, I felt that she understood what I was going through. Julie is kind, friendly, and helped me to feel at ease. The service at Reset Therapies is very professional, and Julie had a real desire to see me get better and start enjoying life. I am happy to recommend Julie’s service.

Annette A, Birmingham

I was experiencing anxiety, agoraphobia and emetophobia. I wanted help with these issues from the start. Therapy gave me a safe place to open up and talk about anything. My whole outlook in life is different now, and so is the way I deal with situations. The household is a happier place for me and my family now, I’m able to rationalise things and deal with them better. I’m able to go to restaurants, I’m able to go out without feeling anxious, and I’m able to eat without feeling sick. Julie has helped me in so many ways and it has been excellent. She is very knowledgeable and is very good at listening, very caring and always makes you feel comfortable. My therapy was very positive and worthwhile, and I would recommend Julie because she has helped me in so many ways, I now see things in a different way.

Laura S, Sutton Coldfield

I am so grateful to Julie for getting me through my surgery successfully. I was facing an operation for a joint injury, and not only was I terrified to the point where I panicked just opening letters about appointments, but I also had a long-term fear of needles as well. Julie was really patient and kind during our sessions and she got me through the whole process.  I still can’t believe that I went through it all so calmly, even when I got into the operating theatre. I was expecting to go to pieces, but I didn’t, not even when they injected a nerve blocker! Julie has an immense knowledge of the human mind and how it works. She helped me to prepare for the surgical procedure, manage my anxiety and resolve my fear of needles. I know I couldn’t have coped without her help. Not only was my surgery completed successfully, but my fear of needles has gone. I am now back on track and getting on with my life. I am so glad that I found Julie, I am so grateful to her, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Jodie M, Birmingham

I would highly recommend the service at Reset Therapies. The support has been fantastic, and it has really helped me on my journey of recovery. I was experiencing low mood, low confidence, and low self- esteem. Initially I was worried that the therapy would not help me, I was actually scared that it might not work. Julie supported me through this, she helped me to feel at ease. I’m now happier, more confident and I have a much more positive view of myself. I’m a stronger person and it has been a very positive experience. I have developed skills that will stay with me now for life. It has been outstanding for me and I would highly recommend the service at Reset Therapies, it really helped me. Julie is welcoming and understanding and very professional. I cannot fault her knowledge or the service delivery.

Ian S, Birmingham

I was feeling sick when I woke up and had nausea and vomiting. I was frustrated as the doctor couldn’t find what was wrong. The therapy helped me because I feel more confident in managing my symptoms. I’m able to use lots of different tools to help me to tackle the problem and my symptoms are less scary, I cope with things better and I’m doing everything that I enjoy again.  My sessions were excellent, I always felt comfortable and welcome, I was listened to and didn’t feel silly talking about things. Julie listened to what I said and worked on things that were important. It was very worthwhile and helpful, and it helped me with my problem when nothing else did.

Matt K, Wylde Green

I needed help because of a medical phobia. The therapy was excellent:  it helped me to relax during medical procedures and taught me strategies for managing. I was very surprised at how quickly the therapy worked; it helped me to understand where my anxiety was coming from and how to deal with it. I am now less likely to put off dealing with health issues and very pleased that I can manage my health needs much better now.

Julianna W, Sutton Coldfield

I wasn’t able to get to sleep and was waking up in a panic. I wasn’t very confident beforehand that the therapy would be able to help in any way at all to overcome the problem, but it has helped me to sleep better and stopped the panic attacks. I am sleeping well now, and I don’t feel as though I am under a mental cloud anymore. I feel much happier in myself and I’m coping better with life because of this. The service was excellent, and I was given the tools to overcome the problem I had. Julie is very professional and very understanding.  The sessions were handled well, and it was a good experience. It has given me my confidence back and it was what I needed to help me get back on track.  I’m very happy to recommend Reset Therapies, I had an excellent experience.

Paul M, Great Barr

I needed help with anxiety and a lack of confidence. At first I was apprehensive, but after speaking to Julie she put me at ease. My therapy helped me to increase my understanding of how I could manage my difficulties, and it boosted my confidence. I feel more at peace now with my past and myself. My outlook has changed, and I no longer feel I have to control everything. I am much happier now. The service was excellent, very well-tailored to my needs, and it addressed the root of my concerns and worries. Julie was caring, non-judgemental, conscientious, and adaptable, and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to benefit from therapy at Reset Therapies. I am more than happy to recommend Reset Therapies as I feel Julie worked hard to understand me and my concerns and then addressed these issues well.

Kate P, Birmingham

I was experiencing severe anxiety, and I felt very nervous at attending my first session with Julie, but the therapy helped me to get my confidence back. I am able to do things with my children again. When I started therapy, I felt I couldn’t look after them on my own because I felt so scared, and I needed a family member with me. Julie helped me through a very dark time in my life. She put me at ease straight away, and I had no problems expressing how I felt. It was a relaxing, calm atmosphere, and it was excellent. I don’t panic anymore, and I can control my anxiety much better now. I would say the service I got was outstanding, and if I sum up now my experience at Reset Therapies, the word I would use is overjoyed. I would highly recommend Reset Therapies.

Danielle F, Birmingham

When I first went to see Julie at Reset Therapies I was a little bit apprehensive, but I was soon put at ease within minutes of my first session. I was experiencing anxiety and low confidence. Julie’s support and help made me realise that I already have the skills I need to have a good life and that I can trust myself and my own abilities. Julie was great, she is non-judgemental and ensures that the sessions are fully tailored to you and your needs. My confidence has grown, and now I have confidence in my own abilities, I am calmer and have a much more positive outlook. I feel that life is really positive and that I can deal with any challenges that it may bring now, I got my true self back. I would say that Reset Therapies is outstanding– life changing for the better and I would recommend it because it was unlike any help I have sought before, and it makes you realise that you can make positive changes to your life. Thank you so much Julie for helping me to get ’me’ back!

Rosie A, Birmingham

I was suffering with severe anxiety. I had tried everything else and had been prescribed medication by my GP. When I first consulted Julie I was nervous, but I was open to anything that would help me. The therapy helped me to relax and taught me how to manage my anxiety. I learned how to cope with things that were stressing me and situations that I was finding difficult. I can now deal with things without that awful feeling of dread, and I feel that I now have a life. I am eating better, sleeping better, my family relationships have improved and I’m now going out, doing more things, and meeting more people.  I had a fantastic experience at Reset Therapies, it was outstanding. Julie is so great at what she does, she understands your fears, she works with you and supports you at all times. I can’t thank Julie enough for giving me my life back, and I can’t thank her enough for what she has done for me. I would recommend Julie very highly.

Lorraine R, Birmingham

I went to see Julie because I was scared of blood, and it gave me a weird sensation to look at it. I wasn’t sure if it would work but I was excited to do it, because if it did work then I would have the confidence to become a midwife. I was able to overcome my problem with blood and not experience the feeling I had before. I can now look at blood and I’m able to pursue my career as a midwife. Julie helped me to overcome my fear of blood, she made me feel comfortable and she was lovely, friendly, and reliable. The service was amazing, and I would 100% recommend it.

Jemma, Sutton Coldfield

(Just a little note here that I feel I have to add: Jemma went on to do her midwifery training and took her first blood sample with no problems at all. She is now a qualified midwife)

The help I got from Reset Therapies was outstanding, my sessions have made a big difference to how I think and feel. The approach was very bespoke and tailored very well to my needs, and I have gained enormously from this experience. These principles will guide me throughout life, thank you Julie!
