Testimonials
‘Dr Gavin Young, Cumbria:
“Julie worked as part of our Primary Healthcare Team at the surgery and we made referrals to her for patients with a multitude of problems, particularly musculoskeletal problems related to possible life stresses. Her presence in the surgery was a great asset and was valued highly by patients and by us, her GP employers. She was hard working and reliable and good to have around, as she gave us new insight into looking at conditions, which we as doctors perhaps, had viewed purely using a medical model”. was feeling a bit lost in terms of my career and life direction and I saw coming to Julie as an investment in myself. I found her to be open, honest and insightful, which invited me to explore the reasons why I do or do not do things and how I cope with everyday stresses. This helped me to gain perspective and approach life with more joy and less fear.’
