About Julia
Julia Wilkinson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with seven years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions and depression, and helps people facing compassion fatigue and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
She frames clients as experts in their own stories. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that feel doable. Conversations look at thoughts, patterns and behaviours that make life harder, and at what a different way of living might actually look like.
Her approach draws on a mix of methods to suit what each person needs. That can include techniques from cognitive behavioural work to notice unhelpful thinking, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build flexible action. Attachment-based ideas guide discussions about early relationships and how they shape current patterns.
Julia aims for straightforward, conversational sessions. People can expect to talk through specific problems, try out new ways of responding, and review what helped between meetings. She pays attention to practical skills for managing emotions, sleep and cravings, as well as relationship patterns like people-pleasing or difficulty saying no.
Her background includes work with trauma, grief, ADHD and complex issues such as codependency and caregiver stress. Julia supports adults who are trying to change long-standing habits and who want concrete tools to cope with life’s pressures.
If someone wants to begin, they are invited to use the online matching steps to book an initial session and see if her style fits their needs.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice inner thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports choosing actions that match what matters most, which can help with anxiety, low mood and codependent patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful cycles. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems and addictive behaviours.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying short experiments with CBT techniques, then discussing how ACT ideas might help make changes that last.
Confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as having a shorter check-in during a work break or choosing a phone call if video feels too demanding. It also allows people who live abroad to connect with registered or accredited professionals in the UK without travelling. Sessions aim to be practical and to slot into everyday routines while focusing on the issues the client brings.
