Julia Kaya
Experienced counsellor for stress and recovery
About Julia
Julia Kaya welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or past trauma. She is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience and works from the United Kingdom. Julia writes plainly and listens closely to help people find practical ways forward.
She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they really think and feel. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client, whether that is coping with panic, managing obsessive thoughts, or navigating the impact of grief and loss.
Background and approach
Julia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tackle problems such as problematic substance use, process addictions like gambling or compulsive behaviours, and the aftermath of abuse. She also works with issues around relationships, communication breakdown, control struggles, divorce and separation, and domestic violence concerns.
Her practice also covers a broad range of life stresses, including money worries, career or life purpose questions, guilt and shame, and pressures faced by first responders. Eating and food-related difficulties and obsessive-compulsive patterns are within her focus as well. Sessions are offered in English and Julia accepts international clients.
She supports people through a thoughtful process of change, helping them set achievable goals and develop clearer, kinder ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Julia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on the problem at hand and practical change. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, then practice alternative responses to reduce anxiety and compulsive reactions. This approach is useful for panic, obsessive thoughts, and everyday worry.Another method she uses works with the emotional impact of trauma and abuse by helping clients process painful memories at a manageable pace and build coping strategies. This helps reduce the hold of past events on daily life and supports recovery from post-traumatic stress and shame.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Julia will discuss options with each person and adapt techniques to suit their goals, preferences and situation. Together they decide what to try first and review progress as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit sessions around work, family commitments and different time zones.
