About Julia

Julia Slek is a counsellor who supports people coping with loss, anxiety and difficult life changes. She offers a calm, listening presence and helps clients talk through painful feelings and practical worries. Sessions are available in English, Russian and Ukrainian and take place online or by phone.

Julia trained as a counsellor and holds BACP membership, which is listed with her credentials as BACP. She has five years of experience working with bereavement, palliative care and life-limiting illness alongside concerns such as depression, anxiety and addictions.

Background and approach

Her background includes helping people manage grief and the everyday impact of loss. Her core approach is client-centred therapy, which means she follows each person’s lead and helps them make sense of their experience at their own pace.

She also uses trauma-focused methods when past harm affects daily life, and draws on Imago Relationship Therapy to look at patterns that show up in close relationships. Sessions can focus on practical coping strategies, improving communication, or exploring emotions linked to attachment and abandonment. Julia aims to make sessions straightforward and practical, breaking problems into manageable steps.

She works with adults and provides support around intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, eating concerns, anger and coping with chronic illness. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Treatment costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Ways of working Julia names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How her approaches work online

Julia uses client-centred therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities, helping them talk through feelings and decide on small, practical steps. This works well for issues such as anxiety, depression and problems with self-esteem.

She also offers trauma-focused therapy to address the ongoing effects of past harm. That approach helps people recognise triggers, manage intense reactions and build coping strategies for daily life. Imago Relationship Therapy can be used when patterns in close relationships cause pain, teaching clearer communication and new ways to reconnect.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and try methods that match your needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way. You and the therapist review progress and adapt the plan when needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
