About Julia

Julia Slek is a qualified counsellor based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, who specialises in bereavement counselling and support for people facing palliative care and life-limiting illness. She has spent many years working with clients and their families to navigate the practical and emotional effects of loss, and she also supports people experiencing anxiety, depression, and related challenges.

Working from a person-centred perspective, Julia treats each client as the expert on their own life and collaborates to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours without judgment. She aims to create a calm, attentive space where clients can talk through what feels overwhelming and find their own path forward.

Julia holds the BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers in-person appointments as well as online and telephone sessions, and she is available on Mondays and Friday afternoons. Fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian, Julia provides support to individuals and families who are seeking compassionate, experienced guidance through difficult transitions and emotional strain.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Julia works from approaches that emphasize understanding the person in front of her and addressing difficult experiences sensitively. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the pace and direction of work - this is helpful for grief, low mood, and life changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of trauma by helping clients process distressing memories and build coping strategies to reduce their ongoing impact. Imago Relationship Therapy looks at patterns between partners, helping people explore communication and connection to improve relationship dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Julia collaborates with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as the work progresses so therapy remains a shared process.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to continue work even when in-person meetings are not possible, supporting continuity and accessibility of care.
