The Absenteeism
Solution Company


Julie is our resident specialist on psychological wellbeing, and leads and co-ordinates the company's activities in this area. Please read her profile below:
​
My name is Julie Baker, and I have been providing therapeutic support for individuals, including adults and children, in Shropshire since 2006.
I specialise in two highly effective approaches to mental health: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centred Counselling. Whether you’re an adult navigating life’s challenges or a parent seeking support for your child’s emotional well-being, I can provide tailored therapy to meet your needs.
​
Supporting Adults and Children in Shropshire
Life’s challenges can affect anyone, regardless of age. For adults, therapy can help manage anxiety, depression, stress, or improve work-life balance. For children, therapy can provide a safe space to explore their emotions, build resilience, and address issues such as low self-esteem, social anxiety, or behavioural challenges.
​
What Can Therapy Help With?
I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional and mental health issues, including:
-
Anxiety and stress
-
Depression and low mood
-
Anger management
-
Grief and loss
-
Confidence and self-esteem challenges
-
Trauma and life transitions
How I Work
At Live Well Talking Therapies, I create a safe, supportive, and confidential environment for both adults and children. Together, we will:
-
Identify the issues impacting your life or your child’s well-being.
-
Explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours contributing to these challenges.
-
Develop practical tools and strategies to promote positive change.
Why Choose Me?
With nearly two decades of experience working with both adults and children, I bring a compassionate and professional approach to my therapy. I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). I also maintain ongoing training and supervision to ensure the highest standards of care.
