Julia Samuel
Julia Aline Samuel (née Guinness; born 12 September 1959) is a British psychotherapist and paediatric counsellor.
Samuel is the daughter of James Edward Alexander Rundell Guinness (1924–2006), a banker, and his wife, the former Pauline Vivien Mander (1926–2017). Guinness is a member of the "banking line" of the Guinness family, founders of Guinness Mahon in 1836, which descends from Samuel Guinness (1727–1795), the brother of Arthur Guinness.
Samuel has three older sisters and a younger brother. Her sister Sabrina Guinness is a television producer, her sister Miranda is a journalist, and her sister Anita is the widow of the late Hon. Amschel Rothschild; her brother is artist and writer Hugo Guinness.
After initially working in publishing, Samuel trained as a counsellor.
She is a psychotherapist specialising in grief and worked as a bereavement counsellor in the NHS paediatrics department of St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, where she pioneered the role of maternity and paediatric psychotherapy.
In 1994 she helped launch and establish Child Bereavement UK, and as founder patron, continues to play an active role in the charity.
She has said that a trauma is a psychic wound that has not been processed, and is stored in the fight/flight/freeze part of the brain, the amygdala, and that EMDR is the best evidence-based treatment for trauma.
In 2021 she announced the launch of Grief Works App, a mobile application for iOS and Android to help the bereaved navigate their grief.
