Julia Kaya, BACP

Julia Kaya is a Shropshire-based therapist with 12 years of professional experience supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and grief.

Julia creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions and experiences at their own pace, and she works collaboratively to set clear goals and build resilience.

Her practice also addresses related concerns such as communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance use and process addictions, eating and food-related issues, family conflict, guilt and shame, and challenges linked to first responder roles. Julia is a member of BACP - a professional counselling association - reflecting her commitment to ongoing professional development and ethical practice.

Clients seeking flexible options will find that Julia offers support for both local and international clients, and she emphasises practical, compassionate care aimed at helping people move toward more fulfilling, balanced lives.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Julia uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to each person’s needs. She works with cognitive and behavioural strategies that help identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills for stress, anxiety and panic. She also employs trauma-informed and addiction-focused interventions that support emotional regulation, reduce avoidance, and address patterns that maintain harmful behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julia collaborates with clients to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure the chosen methods match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences and allows for ongoing review and adaptation.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, and location constraints. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, make follow-up and brief check-ins more convenient, and enable continuity of support for both local and international clients working with licensed professionals and therapists.
