Julie’s profound understanding of family dynamics and her ability to tackle relationship issues with a practical, no-nonsense approach have made her a trusted and sought-after therapist.
Specialising in Relationship Counselling
Relationships in contemporary society are often fraught with complexities that demand expertise beyond what traditional training can offer. As societal roles evolve, men are experiencing higher expectations of sharing household responsibilities, while women increasingly pursue full or part-time employment outside the home. Consequently, partners may feel disconnected or neglected due to the pressures of modern life, creating a rift between them. At times, one partner may attempt to address these issues and propose counselling, only to have their plea rejected. Gradually, emotional detachment sets in, leaving one partner feeling as though they have been emotionally abandoned. Julie’s direct and compassionate approach offers a refreshing perspective and has led to countless reconciliations and the development of effective plans for moving forward.
Expertise in Matters of Sexuality
Julie Lorenz possesses specialised knowledge in matters of sexuality, earning her referrals from other therapists and organisations. The sensitive nature of this subject requires skill, confidence, and a deep understanding of the complex emotions surrounding fears of performance failure in both men and women. In today’s society, where sex is often portrayed in a hyper-sexualised manner, couples may find themselves ill-equipped to sustain interest and passion in long-term relationships. Whether it’s overcoming early childhood conditioning or navigating the aftermath of infidelity, Julie’s expertise as a sexologist enables her clients to address and resolve these issues within the safety of therapy.

Julie Lorenz’s exceptional skills and compassionate approach have also earned her the distinction of being a preferred therapist for the Zoe Belle Gender Collective. This recognition is a testament to her commitment to inclusivity, understanding, and support for individuals exploring their gender identity or navigating gender-related challenges.
