About Julia

Julia Brooker is a BACP-accredited counsellor and cognitive behavioural therapist based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. She offers an empathetic, person-centred way of working that places the client at the heart of the process and recognises each individual as the expert on their own life. Julia creates a calm space to explore difficulties such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, abuse, self-harm and addiction, and she supports clients to uncover underlying patterns and set realistic, achievable goals.

Her practice blends person-centred principles with practical CBT techniques to look closely at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact, and to identify small, manageable changes that build confidence and wellbeing. Julia emphasises collaborative goal-setting and tailors strategies to each client’s pace and circumstances. As a practitioner associated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she follows recognised professional standards. Her approach is suited to people seeking support with stress, relationships, trauma, grief and a range of life changes, with sessions adapted to meet individual needs and strengths.

Integrative therapeutic approaches for online support

Julia Brooker draws on client-centred therapy to offer a respectful, non-directive space where the person’s own values and experience guide the work. This approach supports people exploring identity, relationships, self-esteem and life transitions by emphasising empathy and collaborative understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used alongside person-centred work to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may also be used to clarify personal values and to encourage meaningful action even when difficult emotions are present, which can help with avoidance and persistent worries.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Julia works collaboratively with each client, reviewing goals, preferences and progress to determine which methods fit best and adapting techniques across models where helpful. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine approaches to meet individual needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family and health commitments. Julia tailors online sessions to the chosen format and focuses on practical exercises, reflective conversation and step-by-step skills that translate across different models and delivery methods.
