About Yuliia

Yuliia Nicholls is a qualified psychodynamic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She is licensed in the UK and holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her training and commitment to professional standards.

Yuliia offers counselling to adults in English, Ukrainian and Russian. Her work is informed by a deep interest in how past experiences shape current feelings and relationships, and she specialises in helping people affected by childhood trauma, war-related trauma, veterans' mental health challenges, bereavement, culture shock and psychological issues tied to migration.

Alongside trauma-focused work, Yuliia supports people managing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, loneliness, perfectionism, separation and divorce, attachment difficulties, family concerns and career transitions. She approaches therapy with respect for each person's strengths and life story, aiming to bring awareness to underlying causes of distress and to help clients find ways to move forward.

Yuliia believes clients are the experts on their own lives and seeks to provide a supportive, non-judgemental space where they can be heard and accepted as they are. She recognises that starting therapy takes courage and offers compassionate guidance for those taking that first step.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and early relationships shape current thoughts, feelings and patterns of behaviour. It helps people make sense of repeated emotional difficulties and uncover underlying causes of distress in order to move forward.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathic space in which the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports personal growth. This approach is well suited to those seeking a compassionate environment to explore self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the emotional and psychological impact of traumatic events through targeted techniques that help process painful memories and reduce their ongoing influence. It is commonly used for work with war-related trauma, childhood trauma and post-traumatic stress reactions.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Yuliia collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences and needs and together they choose or adapt methods that feel most helpful. Licensed professionals aim to tailor therapy to each person rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and additional support is available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family or relocation, and help maintain continuity of care when attending in-person sessions is difficult.
