Getting to Know a Thrive Therapist: Jule Recchia

Jule Recchia, RP (Qualifying)

We asked Jule some questions about her work passions, inspirations, and enjoyment activities. Learn more about her and how her relatability and authenticity supports her therapist self.  

Q: What types of issues or clients do you feel especially passionate about?

A: I feel especially passionate about working with clients who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and their emotions. I find it rewarding to support individuals as they explore their inner experiences, recognize patterns in their thoughts and feelings, and build self-awareness. I’m also very interested in helping clients improve their relationships both with themselves and with others by exploring relationships and improving connections. I enjoy guiding clients toward insight and self-compassion, which can have a meaningful impact on both their personal growth and their interactions with others.

Q: What do you wish for those engaging in therapy support?

A: I hope that those engaging in therapy support feel seen, understood, and supported in exploring their emotions and experiences. I wish for them to gain insight into themselves, build self-compassion, and develop tools to navigate challenges in their relationships and daily life. Ultimately, I hope therapy helps them feel more empowered, connected, and able to live in a way that feels true to themselves.

Q: What's your favourite meal?

A: My favourite meal is gnocchi! It is a traditional Italian dish typically made from potatoes. I grew up with my Nonna (grandmother) making this for me as a way to express her love, but also to share a bit of our culture. If I go to an Italian restaurant that has this on the menu, without fail I will always order this as it is both delicious and a comfort food.

Q: If you weren't a therapist, what would you be doing instead?

A: If I weren’t a therapist, I would likely be a Recreational Therapist. I did my undergrad in Recreational Therapy and had the opportunity to work within this role for a few years. Recreational Therapy focuses on using leisure and recreational activities to support well-being and improve quality of life. I really enjoy helping people discover personalized ways to bring them joy and meaning, and finding ways to care for themselves through activities that are fun, engaging, and fulfilling.
