About Julia
Julia Brooker is a BACP counsellor who brings 11 years of experience to her work. She offers a calm, practical style and aims to help people manage anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and other stressful life problems. Her approach is straightforward and centred on listening to what matters most to each person.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and the ways they shape relationships and personal patterns. Julia also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to help people notice thoughts and try different responses.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on simple, doable steps rather than heavy theory. People come to Julia for many concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, and career or parenting stress. She also supports those dealing with intimacy issues, compassion fatigue and relationship difficulties.
Her broader experience covers attachment issues, body image, chronic illness and communication problems. Julia works with clients in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. She offers a mix of online formats to fit different schedules and lifestyles.
The starting point is a short matching questionnaire, followed by scheduling that fits the client's timing. Her style is warm and practical. Julia helps people set clear goals and try tools between sessions.
Over time she aims to help people build confidence, manage difficult feelings and make tangible changes in their daily life.

Online support
Emotion-focused and practical approaches for online therapy
Julia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and make sense of strong feelings and the patterns those feelings create. EFT can be useful for people who want to change how they respond to emotional triggers and improve important relationships in their life.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking small committed steps towards goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used too to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different, practical behaviours that reduce distress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to a person's needs, goals and preferences and together they will try approaches that suit the situation. This helps make sure the work feels relevant and manageable from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to match different needs and routines. Video calls are close to face-to-face work, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
