Julie’s deeply personal journey is now shared with the world in the international bestselling book “START OVER – Turn Any Loss Into a Sensational Comeback (Vol. 6)”, curated by award-winning entrepreneur and motivational speaker Marco Robinson.

Her candid and powerful chapter charts her transformation from pain to purpose and offers a message of hope for anyone ready to heal from their past.

“You can’t change your past,” Julie says, “but you can change the meaning you attach to it - and that changes everything.”

The START OVER series has become one of the most successful personal transformation anthologies of the decade, achieving Number One Bestseller status across six volumes. Julie’s inclusion in Volume 6 marks her official arrival as a thought leader in emotional healing and mindset work - blending lived experience with clinical expertise.

Julie’s childhood years were defined by instability, addiction, and emotional neglect, experiences that left lasting scars - but also ignited a lifelong fascination with the mind and human resilience. Determined to break the cycle, she retrained in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), EMDR, and Psycho-Sensory Therapy (Havening).

Combining science with compassion, she created her own signature Find Your Happy Life Method - a results-driven approach that helps clients release emotional pain, overcome fears and self-sabotage, and rebuild confidence and self-worth from the inside out.

Working from her Kings House Clinic in Holywood, Julie has become a go-to therapist for clients across Ireland and beyond. Her sessions attract those seeking breakthroughs in anxiety, trauma recovery, confidence, public speaking, phobias, emotional eating, and performance blocks.

Julie’s work is founded on a simple truth: your mind creates your reality.

She teaches clients how subconscious beliefs formed in childhood can silently direct adult choices - and how hypnotherapy can powerfully reprogram those beliefs to create lasting change.

“People often come to me when they’ve tried everything else,” she explains. “The mind isn’t broken - it’s just running outdated programming. When we update that, everything shifts. Relationships improve, confidence grows, and life starts to feel lighter.

“I don’t just help you cope - I help you transform. My methods go deeper than talk therapy; they help you rewire how you think, feel and live.”

Her holistic approach combines therapeutic tools with practical coaching, helping clients move from insight to action. It’s this blend - of healing and empowerment - that makes her practice stand out.

Julie’s contribution to START OVER has amplified her voice on the international stage, aligning her alongside global thought leaders in transformation. But her mission remains rooted in Northern Ireland - bringing advanced mind and body therapies to people who are ready to stop surviving and start thriving.

“The past will keep repeating itself until you choose to heal it,” Julie says. “And that choice is where your new life begins.”

For those feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected, Find Your Happy Life offers a proven pathway to self-awareness, emotional freedom and renewed purpose.
