Welcome! Are you looking for someone to listen and support you as you navigate through your feelings and challenges? I'm here to help.
My name is Julia, and I am a qualified counsellor with a special focus on bereavement counselling. I have spent many years helping clients and their families cope with loss, palliative care, and life-limiting illness. I am also trained to work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and other challenges.
As a person-centred counsellor, I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and I will work with you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in a non-judgmental and supportive environment. I am here to listen, support, and help you find your own path forward.
I offer in-person, online, and phone sessions, and I am available Mondays as well Friday afternoons. I am fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian, and I am located in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I'm here to offer a warm and safe space for you to talk. Together, we can work through your feelings and challenges and find ways to feel better.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I like Julia, I believe she is highly qualifies. Julia asks the right questions, and her suggestions are insightful, helpful and relevant. She is also flexible and open to changing her conclusions. She challenges your views on some matters. Julia behaves as your friend, telling a lot about her life and other things, she educates you on theoretical psychological matters. Choose Julia if you are looking for that. It seems Julia specialises in women's matters, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.
Julia has been a great therapist to speak with. She provides space for me to talk about any subjects without judgement. She has been very professional and I have learnt a lot from the sessions with her.
