About Julia
Julia Slek is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. She works with adults facing grief, stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English, Russian and Ukrainian.
Julia uses a person-centred approach that keeps conversation practical and direct. She listens to what matters most and helps people talk through feelings and reactions. Many clients come to her about bereavement, loss, palliative care concerns and the emotional strain that follows illness.
Her work often focuses on how people manage strong feelings and relationship patterns. She helps people notice behaviour that causes strain, practise different responses, and try small changes between sessions. This can include looking at communication, boundaries and repeated patterns like abandonment fears or codependency.
Julia also brings trauma-informed work into sessions when needed, helping people process difficult memories and reduce their hold on daily life. She uses Imago relationship ideas when relationship dynamics are central, offering tools to talk differently with partners or close others.
Clients are guided to set clear goals and practical steps rather than abstract plans. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
She does not take international clients and practices from the United Kingdom.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Julia uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep conversations focused on the person’s experience. That approach means the therapist listens closely, clarifies what matters, and helps people find their own solutions. It is often used for stress, low mood, self-esteem and anger-related concerns.Imago Relationship Therapy is offered when relationship patterns are a main concern. It teaches specific conversational tools to reduce blame and practise clearer listening and response. This can help with repeated conflict, intimacy-related issues and communication problems.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used where past events continue to affect daily life. It works on processing difficult memories and reducing their immediate impact on reactions and relationships.
Julia treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss options, try methods that match your goals, and adjust how you work together based on what helps. The plan evolves from your needs and preferences rather than starting with a fixed programme.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, support shorter check-ins by phone if needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals, including this counsellor, often find remote sessions help people sustain progress alongside everyday commitments.
