Background and approach

Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and on practical steps they can try between sessions. Her background includes five years of clinical experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience includes supporting people facing bereavement, palliative care concerns and long-term illness.

She also works with issues related to addiction, trauma, eating concerns and intimacy problems. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, as well as in person in the United Kingdom. The booking process uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to availability. Julia aims to create a steady, calm space where people can talk through what feels hard. She helps clients weigh options, try new ways of coping and decide what matters next.

The focus is on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon or rushed solutions.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens actively, follows the client’s pace and helps them make their own choices; this suits issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and coping with life changes.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process distressing events and reduce their day-to-day impact. It uses careful, paced conversations to address trauma symptoms and improve emotional regulation and coping.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful, try different methods when needed and adjust the work to match goals and preferences. Clients are encouraged to share feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes therapy easier to fit around work, family and mobility needs. Video helps preserve face-to-face interaction, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat allows shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it possible to work consistently without extra travel and to choose whichever way of meeting feels most comfortable.
