About Julia
Julia Slek welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or grieving and offers calm, steady support. She works with individuals facing losses, stress, anxiety and life changes, and listens without judgement to help them find ways forward.
Julia trained as a counsellor and holds a BACP credential, which means she follows the professional standards set by that body. She has five years of experience and has spent much time supporting people through bereavement, palliative care and life-limiting illness. She also helps with depression, addictions, eating concerns, anger and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her main style is client-centred therapy, where the client’s perspective leads the work and the pace is set by what feels manageable. She also uses trauma-focused approaches and Imago relationship ideas when they match a person's goals and situation. Sessions aim to make emotions clearer and to try practical steps for everyday life.
Julia speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian, and sees people in the United Kingdom. She mentions experience with a wide range of concerns including coping with natural or human-caused disaster, attachment and communication problems, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and body image issues.
People who choose Julia can expect a straightforward, listening-first approach. She offers a space to talk things through, reflect on choices and practice small changes that help day-to-day living.
How Julia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client; online sessions use that same listening-first stance to help people talk through feelings and make choices at their own pace. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on stabilising reactions and building coping skills, which can be delivered verbally and with practical exercises adapted for remote work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, and then adapt methods so they suit the person's needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities, and they allow more flexible scheduling. Please confirm current session options with the therapist before booking, as formats are set by her practice arrangements.
