Psychotherapy and Grief Integration
Julia Elstrodt, BAs (Hons), MA, GMBPsS
I have been fascinated by the human psyche from a very young age, and at eleven years old I began to notice the healing power of listening. I remember thinking to myself, "What if I can better understand, and be even more helpful?” Thus began my journey as a therapist.
Since opening my practice in 2021, I have developed a specialism in trauma and grief care. My roots are in C. G. Jung's depth analytical psychology — a path that feels natural having studied both Psychology and Religious Studies at Brown University, where I first began to explore the deeper questions of human experience and meaning.
Throughout my career, I have remained committed to integrating emerging research with timeless psychological wisdom, bringing together trauma-informed practice, relational healing, somatic awareness, and depth psychology.
