About Julia
Julia Jakeman is a counsellor who uses relationship-focused and trauma-aware methods to help people make sense of painful patterns. She draws on Attachment-Based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how past and current connections shape feelings and behaviour. Julia works with adults on issues such as anxiety, stress, addiction and low self-esteem.
She also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, grief, eating concerns and life changes. She offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on what someone needs.
Background and approach
In sessions she creates a calm space to talk things through and to notice the patterns that keep causing pain. Practical steps and coping tools are offered alongside deeper work on attachment and emotional processing. Julia has around five years of professional experience and has completed more than 1000 hours of client work in face-to-face and remote formats.
Her background includes a focus on addiction and problematic alcohol use, and she brings that experience into wider concerns such as codependency and control issues. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Sessions are offered in English and Julia works with people across the United Kingdom and beyond.
She uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to make therapy fit practical needs. People who want to begin are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to book a first appointment. In conversations Julia balances emotional reflection with straightforward practical ideas.
She pays attention to attachment patterns, core beliefs about self-worth and the everyday decisions that can help someone feel steadier over time.

How attachment and trauma-informed methods work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and supports building more supported ways of relating.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is about mapping emotional responses in relationships and learning new ways to connect. It is useful for people who want to change repeating interaction patterns and improve intimacy or communication.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps people process distressing memories so they lose some of their intensity. It can be useful when trauma or painful past events keep affecting daily life and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julia will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative discussion helps shape a plan that can change over time if needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is suited to deeper emotional work when visual connection helps, while phone sessions can fit a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel or family schedules and to keep continuity across locations.
