About Julia Woods

Julia Woods is a UK-based, BACP-credentialed therapist with six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She approaches each person with respect for their lived experience, working from the belief that clients are the experts on their own story and already carry strengths that can be drawn on to navigate difficult times.

Julia frames the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process in which she offers guidance, tools, and presence to help clients build resilience and make meaningful changes. Taking the first step toward a more satisfying and balanced life can feel daunting, and she acknowledges that courage while offering steady support as clients explore goals and take action.

Her BACP credential refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and underlines her commitment to ongoing professional development and ethical practice. Julia aims to create a compassionate, strengths-based environment where practical strategies and personal insight come together to support healing and growth.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Julia integrates practical, evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns - it helps people address relational wounds, attachment concerns, and feelings of abandonment or insecurity. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration - this approach helps clients build self-awareness, confidence, and intrinsic motivation by centering their experience and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching practical coping strategies.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Julia collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the process over time, combining elements from different approaches when that supports clearer insight and sustainable change.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or mobility constraints. Working with licensed professionals remotely can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapy into everyday life while still receiving focused, therapeutic support.
