About Yuliia

Yuliia Nicholls uses psychodynamic and client-centred approaches to help people understand what lies beneath their current struggles. She speaks English, Ukrainian and Russian and has five years of practice in the United Kingdom. Yuliia aims to listen closely and help people make sense of difficult moments in life.

Her style focuses on exploring how past events shape present feelings and reactions. Sessions look at patterns that cause distress, such as attachment and control issues.

02

How Yuliia works

She also draws on solution-focused techniques to identify practical steps that feel achievable between meetings. Yuliia has a particular interest in trauma linked to childhood experiences, war, and migration. She supports people coping with bereavement, veterans' mental health challenges, and culture shock.

Her work also covers anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness and perfectionism. People often bring relationship strain, separation and divorce, career uncertainty or a search for life purpose. Yuliia encourages clients to recognise their strengths and to try small changes that build confidence.

She describes counselling as a collaborative conversation rather than a lecture. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How psychodynamic and solution-focused work online

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences affect current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions allow time to reflect on recurring patterns, attachments and memories, with space to notice how these turn up in daily life. This approach can help when trauma, migration or repeated relationship difficulties are present.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical, short-term steps and clear goals. In online meetings the focus is on small, manageable changes to try between sessions, such as experiments in communication or coping techniques, and then reviewing what worked. This suits people who want tangible ways to move forward alongside deeper exploration.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about aims, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods collaboratively. Clients and therapist decide together which mix of exploration and practical tasks to try.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to regular support. Video calls let people see facial cues and use screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, ongoing thought records or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help make therapy fit around work, family and travel commitments.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
