About me

Welcome! Are you looking for someone to listen and support you as you navigate through your feelings and challenges? I'm here to help.

My name is Julia, and I am a qualified counsellor with a special focus on bereavement counselling. I have spent many years helping clients and their families cope with loss, palliative care, and life-limiting illness. I am also trained to work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and other challenges.

As a person-centred counsellor, I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and I will work with you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in a non-judgmental and supportive environment. I am here to listen, support, and help you find your own path forward.

I offer in-person, online, and phone sessions, and I am available Mondays as well Friday afternoons. I am fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian, and I am located in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

If you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed, I'm here to offer a warm and safe space for you to talk. Together, we can work through your feelings and challenges and find ways to feel better.

Julia is a kind, patient, highly intelligent, sympathetic therapist. She has changed my life with the insights she provides me with and the right questions she always knows to ask! If you want a therapist who is going to help you feel heard and really change your life, look no further.

Julia is a very attentive specialist, in one session she helped me see my problem from the other side and helped me open up new opportunities to solve it. I really enjoyed working with Julia. Thanks.

I like Julia, I believe she is highly qualifies. Julia asks the right questions, and her suggestions are insightful, helpful and relevant. She is also flexible and open to changing her conclusions. She challenges your views on some matters. Julia behaves as your friend, telling a lot about her life and other things, she educates you on theoretical psychological matters. Choose Julia if you are looking for that. It seems Julia specialises in women's matters, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.

Julia has been a great therapist to speak with. She provides space for me to talk about any subjects without judgement. She has been very professional and I have learnt a lot from the sessions with her.
