Julia Slek, BACP

Julia Slek is a counsellor who aims to help people facing loss, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns, including jealousy. She offers a calm, listening space where people can talk through painful feelings and find clearer ways forward. Julia speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian and works from the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and has five years of practice experience.

Julia uses a person-centred stance in sessions, which means she follows what matters most to each person and helps them make sense of their own experience. She has particular experience in bereavement, palliative care and supporting people navigating life-limiting illness. Those concerns sit alongside other areas she supports, such as stress, addictions, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.

Her work also covers trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment concerns, and challenges linked to eating, body image and chronic health problems. Julia draws on trauma-focused ideas when recent or past trauma affects day-to-day life, and she integrates relationship-centred methods for communication and connection issues.

Sessions are intended to be practical and paced to each person. Julia listens, reflects and helps clients try new ways of thinking or relating. Conversations often involve looking at patterns, developing coping strategies and planning small steps that feel manageable.

Practical information is straightforward: she works in the United Kingdom, uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and does not take international clients. To begin, clients use the platform continue button on this profile and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens without judging and helps the client discover their own solutions, which can help with grief, low mood and self-esteem issues.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past hurt affects daily feelings and behaviours. It uses careful, step-by-step work to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and to build coping skills for anxiety, stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Imago Relationship Therapy centres on how communication patterns affect closeness and conflict. It helps people learn new ways to listen and speak so relationships feel safer and more connected, and can be useful when jealousy or repeated arguments are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on needs, goals and personal preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and problems shift.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Please confirm the current session options with the therapist before booking, as formats are set by the counsellor. Online work can reduce travel time, allow for a quicker check-in at a lunch break and make it simpler to continue care when life circumstances change.
