Julia Kaya, BACP

Julia Kaya offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or the effects of trauma. She welcomes straightforward conversations and helps clients take the small steps that lead to clearer thinking and steadier days. Julia’s approach is warm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping someone move toward a more manageable life.

Julia has 12 years of professional experience and is based in the United Kingdom. She has worked with people managing addictions, relationship strain, and the aftermath of abuse. She also supports those dealing with grief, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and financial or work-related stress.

In sessions she aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about honestly. The focus is on practical ways to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Conversations are paced to what the person needs, with attention to emotional safety and realistic goals.

Julia’s work also covers communication problems, control issues, and life-purpose questions. She has experience supporting people facing divorce and separation, domestic violence, eating and food-related concerns, and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive behaviours.

She is accredited with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are offered in English, and international clients can be accepted. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details.

How evidence-based techniques can work online

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques rely on practical steps and clear communication. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and gently testing them against real-life evidence, which can reduce anxiety and obsessive thinking. Another approach centres on coping skills and gradual exposure to feared situations; this helps people manage panic attacks, intrusive memories or avoidance in steady stages.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together what suits the person's goals, needs and pace. This is a collaborative process, so adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing check-ins during a lunch break. It can also allow a quieter, less busy setting if that helps concentration, or shorter telephone check-ins when less screen time is preferable. The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking to make sure they fit practical needs.
