Julia Kaya, BACP

Julia Kaya offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or addictive behaviours. She introduces practical ways to manage strong feelings and recurring patterns. Julia writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

She has 12 years of professional experience across a variety of settings in the United Kingdom. That background means she is used to helping people untangle problems like relationship strain, communication breakdowns and control issues. She also supports those coping with trauma, abuse, panic attacks and obsessive or compulsive behaviours.

Julia pays attention to patterns that maintain distress, such as unhelpful thoughts, avoidance or repeated behaviours linked to addiction. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps to change day-to-day habits. Practical tools are offered alongside space to talk through painful experiences and emotion.

People mention a relief in being able to speak without judgement and to plan changes that fit their life. Julia also helps with issues tied to money, work stress, life purpose and the strain of separation or divorce. She has experience with first responder issues and with concerns around domestic violence.

Therapy is offered in English and is available to international clients. Julia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is used so sessions can start when the match is made.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Julia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical skills. One common approach looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and aims to change small day-to-day habits that keep problems going; this can help with anxiety, panic and worries that feel overwhelming. Another approach emphasises working through painful memories and strong emotions so they cause less disruption in daily life, which can be useful for trauma, abuse and prolonged grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julia will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try. The emphasis is on a collaborative process - trying things that make sense and adjusting as needed based on what helps.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you see facial cues and use shared materials, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing writing between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
