About Julia
Julia Jakeman is a counsellor who draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people through relationship and emotional difficulties. She works with adults and offers both short-term and longer-term therapy. Julia aims to create a calm space where clients feel seen and heard as they talk through what matters to them.
Her practice pays close attention to attachments and how early patterns shape current relationships. She also uses EMDR for clients who want help processing traumatic memories and strong emotional reactions.
Background and approach
These methods are applied in a practical way to reduce distress and improve everyday coping. Julia has five years of professional experience and more than 1,000 hours working with people in face-to-face and remote settings. She has supported people with addiction and problematic alcohol use, and with many other concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and eating issues.
Her background includes work with relationship concerns and intimacy-related problems. Clients can expect a conversational style that balances emotional reflection with clear, manageable steps. Sessions involve talking through patterns, naming feelings, and practising new ways of relating or coping.
The aim is to make therapy useful for day-to-day life. Julia is registered with BACP and NCPS and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and she is available to work with international clients.
Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Online support
How Emotion-Focused and Attachment Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings in the moment and explore how those feelings shape their relationships. It can be useful for couples or individuals struggling with connection, intimacy and recurring conflicts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early bonding and how it affects current behaviour and expectations in relationships; it helps people understand patterns and try new ways of relating.EMDR, when used, involves guided attention to distressing memories while the person tracks bilateral movement or other stimulation. It is often chosen by people who want a structured way to process trauma or intense emotional reactions. These approaches are offered as options and the therapist will discuss together which might fit best for a person’s needs and goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made. That shared decision-making helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy provides flexible ways to meet. Video calls enable face-to-face interaction, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth, live chat is handy for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and daily life while still using the therapist’s chosen approaches.
