About Julia Brooker

Julia Brooker is an empathetic BACP-accredited integrative counsellor and cognitive behavioural therapist practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of professional experience. She creates a supportive space where people can examine the underlying causes of anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, experiences of abuse, self-harm, or addiction, and work toward practical, achievable change.

Julia’s practice is guided by a person-centred approach that places the individual at the heart of the therapeutic work, recognising each client as the expert in their own life. She complements this foundation with cognitive behavioural tools to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact, and to develop strategies that reduce distress and promote healthier patterns. With an emphasis on collaboration, clients and Julia identify specific goals and small, manageable steps that build confidence and wellbeing over time.

Her style is grounded, compassionate, and outcome-focused, aiming to combine deep listening with practical techniques so clients can notice where modest adjustments may support meaningful growth. Julia holds accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting professional standards in training and practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centred therapy places the person receiving support at the centre of the work, emphasising empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own expertise about their life; this approach helps when someone needs a respectful, non-directive space to explore feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, using practical exercises and strategies to address problems like anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful coping habits. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, relationship difficulties, or patterns shaped by past disruption.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. This process may blend different approaches and adapt over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to receive support from familiar surroundings. Many people benefit from the convenience of remote appointments while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
