Julia Wilkinson, BACP

Julia Wilkinson is a BACP counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions and depression. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and life changes. Julia speaks English and works with people both in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Julia believes the client is the expert in their own story. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels difficult. Sessions are practical and down to earth, with attention to small changes that make daily life easier.

Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, alongside Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas. These approaches are used to help with mood, relationships, and coping strategies. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are also part of the toolkit for managing strong emotions.

Over seven years she has helped people work through grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and struggles connected to chronic pain or illness. She also supports people with ADHD, bipolar and neurodiversity-related challenges in day-to-day life.

Julia aims to work collaboratively to set realistic goals and practical steps. She focuses on building on existing strengths while addressing patterns that cause distress. People who want straightforward, compassionate support often find this approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with long-term health problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on clearer links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people try different coping strategies in everyday life.

Julia takes a collaborative approach to finding the right method. She will talk through goals and preferences with each person and adapt techniques along the way. Deciding which approach to use is part of the first few sessions rather than a fixed choice from the start.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting talks around work, family and medical appointments. Online appointments can make it easier to keep continuity when travel or illness makes attending in person harder. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm current options before booking to ensure they fit your routine and needs.
