About Julia
Julia Jakeman is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom. She has five years of practice and has worked with adult clients and couples on issues including addiction and problematic alcohol consumption, stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside attachment-based and other relational approaches. In sessions she focuses on feelings and interaction patterns that keep people stuck. She helps people name hard-to-identify emotions and notice how those feelings affect their choices and their relationships.
Julia has completed over 1,000 hours of face-to-face and remote work. That experience includes short-term and longer-term therapy tailored to different needs. She also brings experience supporting people with grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns.
Practical topics such as communication, boundaries, eating and substance use are part of her work. She also addresses issues such as attachment, abandonment, codependency and body image when they come up in therapy. Clients sometimes focus on coping with life changes, parenting stress, or managing ADHD-related challenges.
People who choose her can expect a relational style that looks at patterns between feelings and behaviour. Sessions cover what is happening now, how past relationships influence current reactions, and small changes that can shift those patterns. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session through the online booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on recognising and labelling feelings and patterns between partners or within the self. It is often used for relationship patterns, attachment and emotions that are hard to name. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps people notice repeated patterns in relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed approach that works with distressing memories and sensations to reduce their intensity and emotional charge.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julia will discuss options and help decide whether EFT, attachment work or EMDR best fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
The biography records experience with both face-to-face and remote work, but current session formats are not specified here. Confirm available remote formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into daily life because they can avoid travel, use shorter check-ins when needed, or choose audio-only if bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods like EFT and EMDR for remote delivery while working with clients' practical needs.
