Julie Grucza

Julie Grucza is a qualified counsellor and registered member of both the Australian Counselling Association and Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. She works with adolescents, adults, couples, and families across a broad range of personal, emotional and relationship concerns. Julie brings an extensive professional background in working with young people and families, giving her a strong understanding of the different experiences, pressures and transitions people can encounter throughout life.

Julie is warm, approachable and genuinely curious about the people she works with. She believes effective counselling begins with creating a space where clients feel heard, respected and able to speak openly without fear of judgement. Julie works collaboratively with clients to understand what is happening beneath the surface, recognise patterns that may be keeping them stuck and identify practical ways forward. Her flexible approach allows counselling to be shaped around each person’s individual circumstances, strengths and goals rather than expecting clients to fit a particular mould.

Julie uses an integrated, client-centred approach drawing on Person-Centred Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment- and emotion-focused approaches, and creative and play-based techniques. Each session is adapted to the individual, helping clients develop greater understanding, strengthen relationships and find practical ways forward.
