Julia Yates uses evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. They are a BACP counsellor with 12 years of practice and focus on issues such as depression, grief and LGBT matters. Julia writes in a straightforward way and aims to make first steps feel manageable.
Sessions start with an open conversation about what feels most pressing. Julia listens without judgement and helps people name their priorities. Practical strategies and straightforward talking are mixed so people leave with something to try between meetings.
Background and approach
They also work on relationship concerns and challenges that come with blended family life. Body image, gender dysphoria and sexuality are areas Julia supports people to explore gently and honestly. Multicultural concerns and experiences of prejudice are taken seriously in sessions.
Panic attacks and social anxiety are approached with calm, step-by-step techniques aimed at reducing avoidance and increasing confidence. Grief and loss are treated with patience, holding the practical alongside the emotional as people find ways to cope day to day. Julia welcomes young adults navigating transitions and identity questions.
They offer conversational, practical counselling and help people build self-compassion and stronger coping skills. The style is direct but kind, aimed at making therapy useful from the start.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Evidence-based techniques focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative ways of seeing situations; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and social worries. Another approach uses gradual, planned exposure to feared situations or sensations to reduce panic and avoidance over time; it is often used for panic attacks and social anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and try out what fits best with the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility around schedules and tech needs. Video is good for a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Chat or messaging can be used for ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
