About Julia

Julia Slek welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. She offers calm listening and steady support to help people make sense of painful events. Julia is named as a BACP counsellor and brings five years of practice to her work.

Julia focuses on bereavement and the impact of life-limiting illness. She also helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress and addictive behaviours. Her work covers relationship and intimacy-related concerns, eating and body-image worries, grief after loss, and coping with major life changes.

Background and approach

Julia uses a person-centred style that keeps the client’s experience at the centre of every session. That means she listens without judgment and follows the pace the person needs. She also draws on trauma-focused ideas when painful memories get in the way of daily life, and on Imago relationship approaches to look at patterns that repeat in close relationships.

Sessions are offered in English, Russian and Ukrainian. People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. The platform uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Julia practises from the United Kingdom and has worked with people over five years. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Ways of working Julia names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Julia's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance so people can speak honestly about grief, anxiety or stress and find their own solutions. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how traumatic memories affect daily life and uses careful, paced steps to reduce overwhelm and improve coping. Imago Relationship Therapy explores recurring patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change those patterns for better communication and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julia will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. That means the style of sessions can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change, with decisions made together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when a lighter bandwidth connection is needed or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing to talking. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit sessions around work, care commitments or travel constraints.
