About Julia
Julia Brooker is a BACP counsellor with 11 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, attentive presence and aims to help people understand what drives their distress. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focused on small changes that make daily life easier.
She commonly works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, addictions, relationship strain, and the emotional impact of long-term health conditions.
Background and approach
Concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue are also within her range of experience. Her work draws on client-centred principles so the person’s own experience guides the sessions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to map how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and to try out alternative ways of coping.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used when people want to focus on values and meaningful change. In sessions she aims to co-create clear, manageable steps. That might include practical exercises between meetings, skills for emotional regulation, or ways to improve communication.
The emphasis is on what can be tried now rather than complicated plans. Julia practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in English and offers a mix of session formats to suit different needs.
To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Julia blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and ACT to make online therapy practical and focused. Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the sessions and relies on listening, empathy and collaboration to help people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers simple exercises to try new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what they value and take small steps towards those values even when difficult emotions are present.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative - goals, pacing and techniques are reviewed together so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone work can be a good shorter check-in or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing reflections and quick contact between sessions. These options help people fit work on their mental health around busy lives and differing daily rhythms.
