About Julia
Julia Jakeman is a counsellor who blends relationship and trauma-informed approaches. She uses Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and EMDR alongside other methods to help adults address anxiety, addiction and relationship strain. Julia holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has five years of clinical experience working with adult clients in the United Kingdom.
She often focuses on addictive behaviour and problematic alcohol use, and she helps people talk through grief, depression and self-esteem struggles.
Background and approach
Clients also come for help with communication problems, intimacy-related issues and coping with major life changes. Julia aims to create a calm space where people can be seen and heard. Sessions can be short-term or longer term depending on what a person needs.
In therapy she encourages an exploration of personal history and relationship patterns to find useful, practical changes. She works in straightforward language and keeps goals realistic and manageable. Julia has delivered over 1,000 hours of face-to-face and remote work with adult clients and couples during her practice.
That experience informs how she blends different approaches for each person. She uses evidence-informed techniques alongside relational work to address trauma, attachment wounds and addictive patterns. People who contact her can expect a calm, non-judgemental space and a focus on practical steps.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online or by phone to fit into busy lives.
How relationship and trauma approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in close relationships and practise new ways of relating. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions in relationships and on improving connection and communication between partners or in close relationships. It helps people express needs and respond to each other with more understanding. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, works with distressing memories and painful experiences to reduce their emotional impact; it can be adapted for remote delivery and used when trauma or abuse affects daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julia will discuss your history, goals and preferences and then agree a plan with you. That collaborative process means techniques may change as your needs become clearer and progress is reviewed together.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls suit longer sessions and face-to-face style interaction, phone sessions can be useful when internet bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when writing helps you reflect. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, while keeping continuity of care with the same therapist.
