Psychotherapy In Cambridge and Essex
Hello, I am Julie Webb – a mature, experienced therapist and supervisor offering psychotherapy for people who are experiencing difficulty, transition, uncertainty or change - or who feel that something in their life needs deeper attention. I work in a traditional way - at depth, with a modern twist, a sprinkle of spirit, and I am a devil with the detail!
I am BACP registered and accredited with over 16 years’ experience in the NHS, Higher Education and Independent settings in the Cambridge, London and Essex.
As a lecturer and trainer in counselling and personal development, I have worked at Cambridge University, the University of Suffolk, Anglia Ruskin University, and Shrewsbury College delivering retreats and workshops on therapy and philosophy, deep dives for personal change, and reflective spaces. I have over 10 years' experience as a Supervisor for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, GPs, Palliative Care Consultants, Hospital Chaplaincy services and Teaching staff. I have also published articles, reviews and books in my field, sometimes collaborating with other like-minded colleagues in the Humanistic and Philosophical field of psychotherapy.
I offer online appointments and am delighted to announce that I will be offering in-person appointments at Gillvray Health, Hills Road, Cambridge, from January 2027.

Working With Me
I offer a limited number of clients bespoke, depth-oriented therapeutic work, deliberately keeping a small concurrent caseload so that I can offer each person the time, attention and continuity that this kind of work requires. My role is to be alongside you when life, an experience or a dilemma is causing struggle or suffering. Together, we explore what is happening, what matters, and what might help you find a way through.
I work in monthly rhythms, offering both weekly and fortnightly sessions. This allows the work to have continuity and depth while remaining flexible enough to accommodate different circumstances, needs and stages of life. We may work together for a month, several months, a year or longer, depending on what brings you here and what you want to explore or change.
Your Therapeutic Journey
The point of therapeutic encounter is that you are not alone on this journey of change.
I am here to bear witness, be alongside you, notice what I notice and help you explore experiences, choices and actions that may take you forward.
I will attend to what is illuminated - and help you bear the illumination when it comes. My intention is to be of aid so that you can feel grounded in a groundless world, light up, even if that means learning to be okay in the dark.
We will listen to what is said and unsaid; be curious and creative; perhaps work with dreams and your vivid imagination; develop trust; and, when the time is right, challenge and move forward.
My Approach
Whilst many therapy models may come into our work, my practice is grounded in the Humanistic Tradition, specifically, Person-centred, Existential and Experiential psychotherapy.
It is also informed by my background in
philosophy, the arts and Zen Buddhism with particular interest in impermanence, choice, freedom, meaning and how we live.
I have worked with anxiety, loss, grief, identity, confidence and self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life transitions, traumatic experience, low mood, decision-making and burnout - among many other human challenges.
Sometimes what brings us to therapy does not yet have a name.
Finding Answers
Whilst modern science continues to reveal much about how creatively our brains dance with our histories, hormones, and body, after thousands of hours working with clients I often find that clients are still left with deeper questions of:
What does it mean to be me in a world full of others?
How do I bear my pain and suffering?
How do I live well?
The answers are rarely a straight line. They may meander, double-back, arrive in ways we do not expect.
Therapy is a place to make room for uncertainty, listen carefully to what emerges and discover what may be possible from here.
Session Information
Beginning
Our first step is simply a conversation with a complimentary 15-minute introductory telephone or zoom call so that you can ask questions, tell me a little about what brings you here, and explore working together. If it feels right for both of us, we can arrange an Initial Consultation.
Initial Consultation - £150 (or a stand-alone session)
A 90-minute session to give us time to explore more deeply your situation, what you may need, and to decide the rhythm for working together - the intention is neither to rush the work nor to let it drift.
The Working Rhythm:
Intensive weekly rhythm - £400 per month
Four 60-minute sessions
Fortnightly spacious rhythm - £200 per month
Two 60-minute sessions
The rhythm can be reviewed and changed as the work develops.
Where do we do the work?
Sessions currently take place online and from January 2027 in-person appointments will be available at Gillvray Health, Hills Road, Cambridge, CB2.
Supervision
As a mandatory aspect of the therapeutic profession, I offer a reflective and supportive space for Counsellors and Psychotherapists to explore client work in the therapeutic relationship, along with experiences such as compassion fatigue, burnout and vicarious trauma. We can explore any concerns, organisational issues, and also the supervisory relationship itself for best and safe practice. Outside of clinical practice, the latter topics are relevant to any person working in the helping professions; GPs, Consultants, Teachers, Social Workers, the Nursing profession and Emergency Service workers and/or Executives and Managers wanting to explore relationally in the workplace.
As a supervisory relationship can last many years as we develop into and out of any work that we are engaged in, I fully understand that a suitable match is important and I hope that the information and descriptions I have given about my work as a therapeutic practitioner have already gone some way to inform you about my values in the work. If you engage in supervision with me, our work will be underpinned by encouragement, support and equality and will meet the standards articulated in the BACP ethical framework.
My supervision training is robust post-graduate level, taken over a 2 year period with Cambridge Supervision Training and accredited by The Association of Adlerian Psychology.
Whilst updating regularly with CPD, I also engage monthly in the practice of 'Supervision of Supervision' to support this work.
My fees for Supervision are £80 per hourly session and take place online.
Please feel free to contact me if you wish to explore further.
