Julia Kosciuk, BACP

Julia Kosciuk is a counsellor with three years' experience practising in the United Kingdom. She holds a Masters in counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Julia aims to offer a warm, respectful space where people can speak about what matters to them without fear of being misunderstood.

She describes her work as integrative, drawing on several methods to suit each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative - Julia listens first, then tailors the approach to the issue and the person's preferences. This helps keep the work relevant and practical.

People come to her with a wide range of concerns. These include stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and addictive behaviours. She also supports people facing career pressures, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges and life transitions.

Julia pays attention to communication problems, fertility and pregnancy issues, guilt and shame, isolation and workplace difficulties. She aims to help people build self-esteem, cope with anger, and find new ways to manage overwhelming feelings. Work proceeds at the client’s pace, whether the matter is recent or long-standing.

Sessions may be offered in English and conversational Polish for those who prefer to use both languages. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches inform online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without being led by them. It encourages choosing actions that reflect personal values and can help with anxiety, low mood and problems that feel stuck.

Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on the relationship in the room. The therapist listens with empathy and aims to understand how things feel for the person, which can be useful for building self-esteem and working through shame or grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical steps to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, depression and unhelpful coping habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and will adjust methods based on what the person needs. This is a collaborative process that may include trying different techniques until something fits.

Many people find online appointments easier to fit into a busy week and helpful for keeping continuity of care. Online work can make regular check-ins simpler and reduce travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking to ensure they match your circumstances.
