About Julia

Julia Jakeman is a counsellor who uses EMDR alongside relational approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. She works with adults and offers both short-term and longer-term therapy. Julia aims to create a space where people feel seen and heard as they talk through difficult experiences.

Julia draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help partners and individuals understand and express feelings more safely.

Background and approach

EMDR is included in her practice to support people processing painful memories and trauma-related reactions. Her background includes five years of clinical experience and more than 1,000 hours working with clients face-to-face and remotely. That work has included a focus on addiction and problematic alcohol use, alongside issues such as depression, grief and intimacy-related concerns.

People commonly bring worries about relationships, parenting strain, anger, body image and coping with life changes. Julia also supports people dealing with eating and food-related issues, codependency, attachment and communication problems. She adapts the pace of therapy to each person's needs, using shorter focused work or open-ended sessions when helpful.

Julia holds BACP and NCPS credentials, shown as BACP and NCPS. She practices from the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different routines and preferences.

Approaches Julia names

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

Online support

Relational and trauma-focused approaches online

Julia commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds affect current relationships and behaviour, helping people notice patterns and try new ways of connecting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to help people and couples name and share feelings so interactions feel less reactive and more understood. EMDR is offered as a method to help process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge when those memories are a factor.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, past experiences and preferences to find the best fit. That choice is a joint decision and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to match changing needs.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible, live chat suits shorter exchanges and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins between meetings. These options offer flexibility for different routines and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
