Following her career as international athlete and UK athletics coach, Julia gravitated towards sports psychology. Guiding others came naturally to Julia, prompting her to train as a psychotherapist at the renowned Kensington Consultation Centre, and under the guidance of Ros Draper, one of the UK’s leading psychotherapists. Julia now works as a therapist at the highest level, using her experiences to help her clients discover their own pathway to self awareness, whether the focus is on personal development, business, relationships, or sport. www.juliaarmstrong.co.uk
