About Julia
Julia Wilkinson, BACP, focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. She works with those facing addictions, compassion fatigue and major life changes. Julia believes clients know their own story and brings a calm, supportive presence to each session.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions aim to identify strengths and small steps that make life more manageable. Expectations are discussed clearly so people know what a few appointments might look like.
Julia uses practical approaches that help with thinking patterns, emotions and relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is offered to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviour. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings and move towards chosen values.
Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred work inform how she builds trust and safety in sessions. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills are also used when mood swings, strong emotions or self-regulation are a concern. Together these methods give a mix of talking, skills practice and real-life planning.
Her practice notes adoption and foster care as an area of focus and also covers attachment, abandonment and caregiver stress. Julia has seven years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
People who want to try counselling are invited to start with a brief assessment to agree goals and a pace that suits them. The aim is steady progress and clearer choices, not quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, usually called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take small steps towards a life they value. It suits people stuck in avoidance or who want clearer direction despite painful emotions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to change how someone feels. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.
Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centred work shape how sessions feel, with attention to building trust and understanding relationship patterns. These approaches support people who want to better understand long-standing connection issues or caregiving stresses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress as they go.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, avoid travel time and sometimes reduce the formality of a first meeting. It can also allow shorter check-ins or a mix of longer sessions when needed, which helps therapy match everyday schedules.
