Julia Kosciuk, BACP

Julia Kosciuk has practised counselling in the United Kingdom for three years. She holds a Master’s in counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Julia aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can say what they’re feeling without judgement.

She works in an integrative way, drawing on several approaches to match the work to each person. Sessions are collaborative and paced to individual needs, whether someone is dealing with a recent event or long-standing difficulty. Julia focuses on helping people make sense of their feelings and find practical steps forward.

Common concerns she supports include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting challenges, career issues, addiction and problems with self-esteem. Additional areas of focus include communication difficulties, fertility and pregnancy-related worries, and workplace stresses.

Julia offers sessions in English and conversational Polish to suit bilingual speakers. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when these fit the goal of the work. Sessions aim to be grounded and understandable, using plain language and clear tools.

Her style is gentle and collaborative rather than directive. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental environment to explore thoughts and feelings. Julia encourages small, achievable steps and practical ways to cope between sessions.

How Julia’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take committed action towards those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, low mood and problems where avoidance has become a pattern.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist offers empathy, acceptance and gentle reflection to help people feel understood and find their own answers; this suits people who need a supportive space to process emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems where skill-building is helpful.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Julia will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit each person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while fitting around work or family time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing written reflection or people who find typing helps them express feelings. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use approaches like ACT and CBT in ways that fit everyday life.
