Julia Wilkinson, BACP

Julia Wilkinson is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles and depression. She supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and life changes. Julia believes people know their own stories and brings a practical, respectful style to sessions.

She works in a collaborative way, listening for strengths and small steps clients can try between meetings. Julia uses everyday language and keeps sessions focused on what matters now. She aims to help people reduce overwhelm and build clearer choices for their lives.

Julia draws on a mix of therapy methods to match a person’s needs. She often uses approaches that focus on values, thoughts and emotions, and on how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Sessions may include straightforward exercises, reflective conversation, and practising new ways to cope.

Her background includes seven years of experience in counselling work in the United Kingdom and she holds BACP registration. This experience has covered helping people with trauma, grief, intimacy and caregiving stress as well as long-term health and mobility concerns.

People commonly bring worries about sleep, eating, anger, attention difficulties and self-esteem, and Julia routinely helps them set practical, achievable goals. She encourages small experiments and clear plans so progress is easier to notice.

If you want a down-to-earth counsellor who listens and helps you try things that fit your life, Julia offers an approach centred on respect, choice and steady forward steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Julia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients connect with what matters most to them and to take small actions that reflect those values. ACT often focuses on practical steps and simple exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy which looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. This approach can help people understand patterns in their close relationships and try new ways of interacting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julia works together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and useful.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, cut travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people use quieter surroundings or switch to audio-only when camera use is difficult. Confirm the exact options with the therapist when you schedule to make sure they fit your day-to-day needs.
