About Julia
Julia Yates BACP is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. Julia helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, LGBT-related questions, relationship concerns, grief and depression. She offers straightforward support for social anxiety and phobia among other related worries.
Julia works in plain language and focuses on practical steps. She encourages people to talk about what feels difficult and to try small experiments between sessions. Conversations aim to reduce avoidance and build confidence in social situations over time.
Her experience covers panic attacks, body image, gender dysphoria and multicultural concerns. She also supports people facing prejudice and discrimination, and those navigating blended family issues or young adult transitions. Julia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions.
Sessions include discussing current problems, setting clear goals, and practising strategies that can be used day to day. She pays attention to how identity and social context shape stress and anxiety. Work on social anxiety may include steps to manage worry around speaking up or meeting new people.
Practical matters are kept simple. Julia accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session through the site.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Julia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviours. Cognitive-style approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach ways to try different thoughts and reactions; these methods can help with worrying about social situations and reduce avoidance.Behavioural strategies involve gradual exposure and practical experiments. This means breaking feared social tasks into small steps and practising them until they feel more manageable, which can help with panic attacks and fear of being watched or judged.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process so the client’s preferences and daily life shape the plan.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats may be shorter or use audio rather than video to suit quiet surroundings or limited bandwidth, so check which options are offered when you schedule.
