About Julia
Julia Jakeman is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has five years' experience working with adults and couples on issues such as addiction, anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties.
Julia works with people who are coping with problematic alcohol or drug use and with those who want to understand patterns in their relationships. She also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, grief, trauma and changes in life circumstances. Her practice includes attention to intimacy-related concerns, body image and eating issues.
In sessions she draws on approaches that look at attachment and emotion, and on methods that help process traumatic memories. Conversations focus on what is happening now, where patterns began, and small changes a person can try between meetings. She offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what someone needs.
Julia has provided over 1,000 hours of face-to-face and remote therapy with adult clients and couples. That practical experience shapes how she plans sessions and responds to setbacks. She pays particular attention to how addiction and relationship patterns interact and how they affect everyday life.
People can expect clear discussion of goals and options in the early sessions. She asks about past experiences, current stresses and what the client would like to change. From there she and the client decide how to proceed and which techniques to use.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current connections. It helps people notice patterns in how they respond to others and try new ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings in relationships and on shifting patterns that keep partners or individuals stuck. It can be useful for intimacy issues and for reducing repeated cycles of conflict. EMDR is a trauma-processing method that uses guided procedures to help reduce the intensity of painful memories and their effects in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Julia discusses goals and life circumstances in early sessions and helps decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to better match what a person needs and prefers.
The profile records experience with remote work, but it does not list specific formats. Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. For some people, remote meetings also make it simpler to focus on conversation without commute stress, while other people may prefer face-to-face contact; Julia will help weigh those practical considerations when planning sessions.
