About Julia
Julia Brooker is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and addiction. She works in a straightforward, person-centred way that puts the client at the heart of the work. Sessions aim to identify practical steps and small changes that build confidence and day-to-day wellbeing.
With 11 years of experience, she uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, for example, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and supports people to try different responses. Attachment-based ideas are used when people want to understand how relationships affect their feelings and choices.
Her practice also addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, LGBT issues, ADHD, trauma, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, anger and career worries. Additional focus areas include chronic illness, body image, communication problems and codependency among others. The aim is practical support that connects to everyday life.
Julia describes work as collaborative. She listens first, then helps set realistic goals and strategies. Sessions can include talking, practical exercises and skill-building tailored to what the person needs right now.
Based in the United Kingdom, she uses her BACP accreditation as the stated credential. People who want to begin are asked to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How these approaches work for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps in that direction even when hard feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety and when life changes make decisions hard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and gives simple exercises to test and shift unhelpful patterns; this can help with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions, which can help when intimacy, trust or communication are causing distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to what matters to the person, discuss different options and agree a plan that fits their goals and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Many people find that talking through practical tools and exercises by video or phone helps translate new skills into everyday life.
