About Julia
Julia Jakeman is a counsellor who blends relationship-focused approaches with trauma work to help people manage stress, addiction and changes in their relationships. She has five years of practice and offers both short-term and longer-term support. Julia works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief and parenting concerns.
She also helps people who are dealing with addictions, anger, eating-related difficulties and the strains of major life changes.
Background and approach
Her background includes extensive remote and face-to-face work with more than 1,000 hours of clinical contact. That experience has given her practical insight into how patterns form in relationships and individual behaviour. Julia draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape how people relate now.
She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help partners and individuals identify their core feelings and respond to them differently. When trauma or painful memories are central, she may use Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing to reduce the intensity of those memories and their impact on daily life.
In sessions Julia aims to create a calm space where people can be heard and noticed. Conversations are straightforward and grounded, focusing on what is happening now and on small steps people can try between meetings. She supports those wanting to improve communication, handle conflict, and rebuild trust after difficult experiences.
Julia is registered with BACP and NCPS and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients by remote formats. New people begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions to suit their needs.

How attachment and trauma approaches work online
Julia uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence feelings and behaviour now. That approach helps people identify why they react as they do and practise new ways of relating in day-to-day life.She also works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and shift core emotions that drive conflict or distance in relationships. For memories and trauma that remain intense, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing can reduce emotional charge so memories feel less disruptive to daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and work together with each person to pick what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets people read facial cues and practise conversations, phone calls use less bandwidth, and text-based options are useful for brief check-ins or when writing things out helps. These formats increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep the work going when schedules or locations change.
