About Julia
Julia Brooker is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 11 years' experience. She works with adults who are coping with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction, and anger. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, relationship strain and life changes.
Julia uses a person-centred way of working that treats the client as the expert in their own life. She combines that with practical cognitive behavioural tools to look at thoughts, feelings and actions that get in the way. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes rather than big promises.
Her background includes working with a wide range of concerns, such as ADHD, parenting pressures, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and long-term health or caregiving stress. This breadth means she often links immediate coping skills with longer-term patterns.
In sessions Julia encourages clear goals and simple strategies. That can mean noticing unhelpful thinking, trying different behaviour, or building steady routines for sleep and mood. She aims for straightforward steps people can use between sessions.
Julia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside attachment-informed ideas when these approaches fit a person's aims. She works in English and with adults living in the UK. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How sessions work
How Julia uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It works well for anxiety, anger and life changes by encouraging values-led action alongside acceptance of hard emotions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical exercises and experiments to change patterns that fuel stress, low mood or outbursts. This approach suits people who want clear steps and tools to practise between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julia will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors often use practical online sessions to focus on skill-building and real-life practice.
