About Julia
Julia Slek offers a calm, listening presence for people facing loss, stress and life changes. She writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on what matters now. Julia is introduced here by name to make it easier to decide if she might be a good match.
Julia is a BACP counsellor with five years of practice. Her work centres on bereavement and palliative care, and she also helps people cope with anxiety, depression and addiction.
How Julia works
She speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian which can help when language matters during tough conversations. Her style is person-centred, which means she treats the client as the expert on their own life. Sessions aim to make sense of feelings, reactions and choices without judgement.
The aim is practical: better understanding, clearer next steps and more manageable day-to-day coping. Julia uses approaches drawn from client-centred methods, Imago relationship ideas and trauma-focused work. She draws on these to tailor the way she listens, asks questions and offers reflections.
This variety helps address grief, relationship strain, trauma and the everyday problems that pile up. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Costs vary by location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Julia’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s lead. It helps people feel understood and supports clearer decision making when facing grief, stress or life changes.Imago Relationship Therapy looks at communication patterns in close relationships and aims to improve understanding between partners or individuals who want healthier interactions. It helps with recurring conflict, intimacy-related issues and improving how people connect emotionally.
Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past hurt affects current reactions and coping. It offers gentle, structured ways to reduce overwhelm and build safer ways of responding to triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most helpful, try methods collaboratively, and adjust based on needs, goals and personal preference. This is a shared process rather than a fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
