Julie Houston is a Psychologist based in Bondi Junction, in Sydney’s east. She works from Suite 401, 3 Waverley Street, Bondi Junction NSW 2022.
Julie offers counselling sessions for people who are dealing with stress and feeling run down, overwhelmed, or stuck in a tough pattern. In many cases, sessions help when life feels too busy, thoughts won’t switch off, or coping strategies aren’t working the way they used to. At times it can also be about managing everyday challenges like change, pressure at work or home, and that slow build-up of tension over time.
Her approach focuses on practical skills you can use in real life. That includes behavioural therapy, where you look at what’s going on in your day-to-day habits and how that affects your mood and wellbeing. Julie also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can help you spot unhelpful thoughts and build more balanced ways of thinking. It’s not about “thinking positive” all the time. It’s more about learning tools that make things feel more manageable.
Relaxation techniques are also part of her work, especially for people who feel tense, restless, or like their body is always on alert. These sessions often cover simple ways to calm your mind and body, so you can feel a bit steadier between appointments. Stress management techniques are built in too, with a focus on what you can actually do day to day, not just in the moment of a crisis.
Over time, Julie aims to help clients build confidence and routines that support them. The goal is steady progress, even when things don’t change overnight. You can expect a calm space to talk things through, sort out what matters most, and work at a pace that feels comfortable.
Julie stays grounded in evidence-based therapy, including CBT and behavioural strategies. She keeps up with what’s useful in modern psychological care, so the support she offers is up to date and practical.
There’s also a clear focus on making therapy feel doable. Sessions are structured enough to give direction, but flexible enough for what you need in that week. If you’re looking for help with stress, coping, and changing patterns that keep pulling you back, Julie Houston is a steady option in Bondi Junction.
