About Julia

Julia Jakeman is a counsellor who blends relationship-focused and trauma-informed ways of working. She uses approaches that look at attachment, emotions and past experiences to help people understand patterns. Julia is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she also holds NCPS credentials.

She has five years of practice supporting adults, working both face-to-face and remotely. Julia often works with stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps people dealing with addiction and problematic alcohol use.

Background and approach

Relationship strain, intimacy issues and communication problems are a regular part of her practice. She offers support for grief, trauma and life changes as well. Her practice aims to create space for people to feel heard.

Sessions focus on looking at how early attachments and current relationships shape behaviour. That can make patterns clearer and open up different choices for handling conflict and emotion. EMDR is one tool she may use for traumatic memories, while Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based work guide conversations about closeness and trust.

Julia adapts each session to what a person needs, whether that is shorter-term problem solving or longer therapeutic exploration. She works in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

To begin, a person selects Start Therapy, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then books a time that suits them.

How relationship-focused therapy works online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. It helps people notice patterns in trust, closeness and conflict and try different responses in their relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on emotions in relationships and helps partners or individuals identify, name and shift painful interaction cycles. It is useful for repairing connection and improving how people respond to each other. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories and their emotional impact, helping people reduce the hold of traumatic experiences on daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs become clearer.

Online therapy with Julia is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different places, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for shorter check-ins, and text messaging can suit people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments while still using proven therapeutic methods.
