About Julia
Julia Brooker is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and also supports those dealing with addiction, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain and career pressures.
Julia listens to what matters most to each person and uses that to shape sessions. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how emotions and attachment patterns influence relationships and behaviour. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and client-centred ways of working when these fit the client’s needs.
In practice, Julia helps people name hard-to-reach emotions and notices the patterns that keep problems repeating. She works through practical strategies alongside talking about feelings. Sessions often include looking at thoughts, experimenting with small changes, and trying new ways of responding to stressful situations.
Her approach combines listening with practical tools. Clients can expect clear conversations about goals and step-by-step ideas to try between sessions. This makes it easier to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
Julia offers support for a broad range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar, trauma and compassion fatigue. If someone is unsure which approach will suit, she helps decide together based on the person’s priorities and what they want to change.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Julia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with strong emotions and attachment patterns that affect how they relate to others. EFT focuses on feelings and the interactional moments that keep old patterns alive, which can be useful for intimacy-related and relationship concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to identify values-based steps to move forward. Attachment-Based Therapy contributes ideas about how early connection styles shape present reactions and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which ideas to draw on based on the client’s goals, what feels most helpful and practical, and how quickly someone wants to try new strategies. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs change.
The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins if needed. They also mean people can use sessions during a break at work or from a quieter setting at home, without having to rearrange major parts of their day. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss which format will work best when you book your first appointment.
