About Julia

Julia Wilkinson helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions and depression using a person-centred way of working. She works from the view that each person knows their own story and that their strengths can help them make changes. Julia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has seven years' experience in the field.

She uses practical, conversational sessions to work through specific problems such as compassion fatigue, sleep or eating difficulties, and coping with life changes. Sessions also address relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem and the particular challenges that come with ADHD or bipolar mood differences.

Julia draws on a range of approaches to suit the topic being discussed. She may use techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot thinking patterns, acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and action, or attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present patterns.

Her work includes support around bereavement, trauma and abuse, and long-term health issues such as chronic pain or caring responsibilities. She also helps with adoption and foster care questions, abandonment and attachment concerns, and body image or codependency problems.

Practical details such as how sessions are arranged and the cost vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and helping them take small steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and then try practical alternatives. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress, sleep and eating problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and self-view, which can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and communication problems.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. Julia will discuss different ways of working and agree with each client which approaches to try based on their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments more easily around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the available formats before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online sessions that allow regular check-ins, shorter problem-focused meetings, or longer therapeutic blocks depending on what the client needs.
