About Julia
Julia Jakeman is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who combines relational and trauma-focused work. She draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused methods to help people understand painful patterns in relationships and day-to-day life. Julia holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has five years' experience supporting adults with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety and addiction.
Her work often starts with simple, practical conversations about what is most worrying right now.
Background and approach
She aims to create a calm space for people to describe their experiences and make sense of them. Sessions can focus on current problems, past hurts or relationship patterns that keep repeating. Julia uses techniques that help people connect feelings and memories to the choices they make now.
That can include approaches to process traumatic memories and to improve emotional connection in close relationships. She adapts what she offers to each person’s needs and pace. She has worked in both face-to-face and remote formats, accumulating over 1,000 hours with adults and couples.
That background informs a flexible way of working that mixes short-term problem-focused work and longer-term exploration. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are supported. People struggling with mood, self-esteem, grief, intimacy, eating concerns, parenting stress, ADHD or substance misuse often find practical tools as well as space to reflect.

Online support
She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to identify and name core emotions that drive conflict or withdrawal. EFT techniques help people notice moments when feelings rise and learn different ways to respond, which supports clearer communication and stronger bonds.
Julia may use trauma-processing tools when past events continue to cause distress. These methods aim to reduce the intensity of painful memories and the reactions they trigger, helping day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person’s needs, goals and comfort. That collaborative process lets clients try methods and shift pace as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face contact and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, while live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to maintain continuity when life is busy or travel is difficult.
