Julia Wilkinson, BACP

Julia Wilkinson is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and compassion fatigue. She also helps people who are struggling with parenting, intimacy concerns, grief and major life changes.

She uses straightforward, talk-based work. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps to reduce distress. Julia encourages people to notice the strengths they already have and to use those strengths when making changes.

Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. That means sessions can include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, noticing emotional responses and thinking about values and relationships. There is space to talk about trauma, loss and difficult patterns that repeat in relationships.

Julia pays attention to parenting stress, communication problems and issues around intimacy and boundaries. She can help with sleep, eating concerns and managing strong emotions such as anger. She also works with longer term conditions such as bipolar and ADHD when these come up in day-to-day life.

People who come to Julia typically find practical ways to cope between sessions. She aims for clear, manageable steps rather than long programmes. To begin, readers are invited to complete the service's matching steps and book an initial session to see how the work fits.

Julia offers therapy in English and accepts enquiries from people outside the UK. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
