About Julia
Julia Yates is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. Julia is non-binary and works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and LGBT-related issues, including gender dysphoria and sexuality.
Julia keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people name what is most pressing and break problems into manageable steps. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can reduce daily stress.
She has supported people through bereavement and periods of low mood. She also helps those facing social anxiety, panic attacks and body image concerns. Blended family issues and the strain of navigating stephouseholds are listed among her areas of practice.
Julia pays attention to how culture and prejudice affect wellbeing. She works with clients who face discrimination and multicultural pressures, and she talks through coping strategies for those experiences. Practical ideas for self-acceptance and improving self-love are offered alongside emotional processing.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Julia will help a client set small, realistic steps between sessions and check progress. If you are looking for a plainspoken counsellor who will tackle immediate worries and everyday problems, Julia may be a match.
Evidence-based approaches and online working
Julia uses well established, evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and managing strong emotions. One common approach helps people identify thoughts that increase anxiety and then test those thoughts with small experiments to reduce worry. Another approach teaches straightforward skills to manage panic symptoms and sudden anxiety, including breathing and grounding strategies you can try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, day-to-day life and preferences. This is reviewed as sessions continue so the plan can be adjusted if something is not working.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer talking rather than meeting in person. Ask about the exact session formats offered when you complete the matching questionnaire.
