About Julia
Julia Yates is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of experience. Julia presents a calm, straightforward approach and aims to make the first step into therapy as simple as possible. Julia helps people manage stress and anxiety.
She also supports work around grief, depression, LGBT concerns and relationship issues. Short conversations in sessions focus on practical ways to feel steadier and cope day to day. In session Julia encourages honest talk without judgment.
Background and approach
She creates space to name difficult feelings and to try new ways of responding. Sessions are paced to suit each person, so conversations stay manageable. Julia has worked in the United Kingdom for over a decade.
That time has included supporting people through panic attacks, social anxiety and concerns about body image and identity. She is familiar with the stresses faced by young adults and people navigating blended family dynamics. People often bring worries about discrimination, gender dysphoria or questions around sexuality.
Julia listens to those concerns and helps clients build clearer thinking and practical coping steps. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and increase confidence in everyday life. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
Julia explains options, checks what works, and adjusts the pace as needed. She also accepts clients internationally and works in English.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Julia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps most in day-to-day life. One common approach teaches practical coping skills for anxiety and panic attacks, such as breathing exercises and step-by-step plans to face feared situations. These tools aim to reduce intense episodes and build confidence over time.Another strand of her work focuses on grief, identity and relationship stress by helping people name feelings, spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. This kind of reflective, skills-based work can ease low mood and make relationships feel less strained.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julia takes a collaborative stance and will help clients choose techniques that match their concerns, goals and personal style. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan when needed so therapy stays useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, and messaging or live chat can fit quick updates or shorter check-ins during a busy week. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, study or family commitments.
