About Julia
Julia Wilkinson is a counsellor who focuses on anxiety and stress as well as related struggles. She works with people facing depression, addictions and compassion fatigue. Julia aims to make the first steps feel more manageable and to support people as they find their own strengths.
She believes the client knows their story best and uses that as a starting point. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Julia encourages small, achievable steps that build confidence over time.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on therapies that help with thoughts, values and relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thinking patterns and try different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to act in line with what matters to them, even when emotions feel difficult.
Julia also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Client-centred work means conversations are paced by the person in the room and focused on their priorities. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills are available when emotion regulation and boundary work are needed.
She has seven years of counselling experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions can be arranged online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, and Julia accepts clients internationally. The focus is on practical help for everyday life changes and ongoing concerns.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward a life that matters to them. It is useful for ongoing anxiety, stress and values-based decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviours and uses practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and doable.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to match different needs. Video offers face-to-face conversation from wherever is quiet, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use a camera, and messaging lets you check in without a long appointment. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life, while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
