Yuliia Nicholls, BACP

Yuliia Nicholls offers psychodynamic counselling that focuses on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships. She is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience and provides sessions in English, Russian and Ukrainian. Yuliia works with adults to help them make sense of difficult moments and find ways forward.

She focuses on trauma and abuse, including childhood and war-related trauma, and has experience supporting veterans with mental health challenges. She also helps people who are grieving, struggling with anxiety or depression, or dealing with low self-esteem and loneliness.

Yuliia uses a client-centred approach that treats each person as the expert in their own life. She combines that with psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, and with solution-focused work to identify practical next steps. Trauma-focused methods are used when past hurt needs specific attention.

Her sessions aim to be warm, accepting and non-judgemental. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with focus on understanding feelings and on small changes that make daily life easier. Yuliia emphasises strengths people already have and helps them apply those strengths to current problems.

She is based in the United Kingdom and works with adults seeking help for life changes, relationship strain, career decisions and other personal challenges. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a session according to the listed scheduling options.

How Yuliia's approaches work in online counselling

Yuliia uses psychodynamic and client-centred approaches alongside solution-focused techniques. Psychodynamic counselling looks at how past experiences influence current feelings and behaviour, which can help when long-standing patterns or trauma keep repeating. Client-centred work places the person's own experience at the centre of the conversation, offering a respectful, listening environment that helps people feel understood. Solution-focused therapy targets practical, short-term steps to change what isn't working and build on what already helps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person's situation. That may mean exploring past causes at a slower pace, focusing on coping strategies for immediate problems, or combining both routes as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets some people take part in therapy in the language they prefer without needing to find a local specialist.
