About Julia
Julia Slek offers straightforward, compassionate support for people facing loss, anxiety, low mood and life changes. She introduces calm, patient listening and helps clients put words to difficult emotions. Julia keeps sessions simple and focused on what matters most to each person.
Julia is a BACP counsellor with five years of professional experience. She has a particular background in bereavement and palliative care, and has worked with people managing loss and life-limiting illness.
Background and approach
Her experience also covers anxiety, depression and a wide range of everyday stresses. Her main way of working is client-centred therapy which puts the person's own perspective first. In sessions Julia follows the person's lead, reflects what she hears and helps identify what they want to change.
She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy for people affected by traumatic events, and uses Imago Relationship Therapy ideas to help with communication and connection issues. Sessions are offered in English, Russian and Ukrainian. Online and phone options are available alongside in-person work in the United Kingdom.
Julia aims to make practical steps feel manageable and immediate rather than overwhelming. People come to see Julia when they are coping with grief, stress, addictions, identity concerns, relationship and family strains, eating or body image issues, anger and self-esteem difficulties. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, attachment or abandonment worries, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Approaches Julia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of distressing events and on practical ways to reduce their impact. It involves gentle processing of what happened and building skills to feel more steady day to day. This approach can be useful for people troubled by past abuse, accidents or other traumatic experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss aims, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as progress is made. That conversation is collaborative and practical rather than prescriptive.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when more connection is needed. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a calmer audio-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer to write or those who need flexible timing. These options help people access consistent support without long travel.
