Julia Jakeman is a counsellor who practises an integrative approach. She blends relationship-focused and trauma-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and difficulties in close relationships. Julia uses clear, practical language so sessions are straightforward and easy to follow.

She has five years' experience and over 1000 hours of face-to-face and remote work with adult clients and couples. That background includes significant work around addiction and problematic alcohol use.

Background and approach

Julia offers both short-term and longer-term support depending on what someone needs. In sessions she aims to create space for people to feel heard and understood. Conversations focus on identifying feelings, patterns in relationships, and small steps to change day-to-day routines.

She draws on relationship therapies to help improve communication and emotional connection. Julia also uses trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect daily life. These approaches help reduce the intensity of difficult memories and lessen their hold on current relationships and wellbeing.

Practical tools for coping and managing urges are woven into the work. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. Clients can expect a blend of talking, reflection and structured exercises.

The aim is steady progress that fits into real life, not quick fixes or unrealistic demands.

How relationship and trauma approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. Online sessions help identify unhelpful patterns and build safer ways of connecting with others. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on emotions in close relationships. It helps people understand and change interaction cycles that leave them feeling distant or hurt. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories to reduce their intensity and emotional charge.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. That collaborative plan can change over time as progress is reviewed and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you work visually when deeper emotional work is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is required. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, reflective notes or people who prefer writing between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care across different schedules and locations.
