Who is Changes in Between?

Hi I’m Julie – Counsellor, Coach, Consultant. Changes in Between provides assistance to people who are experiencing challenging change and loss. As a result, they may feel overwhelmed about their own identity and their relationship to themselves, others, objects and possessions. 

I’m a clinical and mental health counsellor registered with the Psychotherapy and Counsellor Federation of Australia (PACFA); Certified Bereavement Practitioner recognised by the Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement; and Certified Thanatologist – study of dying, death and bereavement through the Association for Death Education and Counselling.  

My focus is working with people who are experiencing loss and grief from death and non-death losses and with people who would like to be more organised.  Over the past 25 years, I have explored and experienced many different activities and educational paths that have influenced my interest in working with individuals experiencing life transitions in those changes in between. 

At Changes in Between, I am committed to learning including post-graduate studies in general counselling, bereavement counselling (grief and loss), change and transition as well as specialist studies in life, wellness, grief coaching and chronic disorganisation. You can see some of my qualifications and professional associations below.

I have completed extensive professional development in a range of counselling methodologies including

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
• Dignity Therapy
• Emotionally Focused Therapy
• Existential Therapy
• Motivational Interviewing
• Narrative Therapy
• Nature Based Therapy
• Person-Centred Therapy
• Positive Psychology 
• Single Session Work
• Solution Focused Therapy
• Strengths-Based Therapy

I live in the North Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne with my husband, two sons and long-haired chihuahua. I am part Danish and enjoy learning more about the Danish culture, food, language and hygge. 

Becoming hygge (pronounced hue–guh) is a big part of my life. It has been described as a quality of cosiness, comfort and contentment in the everyday, in our homes and connection with outdoors. As a child I lived next to a forest and when I return to the forest all my senses become alive. I believe that nature can be a wonderful healer. In my spare time I enjoy bushwalks and walking around my local area.
