About Julia Slek

Julia Slek is a BACP-registered counsellor with a focused practice in bereavement and supporting people through life-limiting illness and palliative care. She brings five years of professional experience helping clients and their families navigate grief, loss, and the emotional complexity that follows serious health concerns.

Working from a person-centred perspective, Julia believes each person is the expert on their own life. She offers a non-judgmental, empathic space to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and she collaborates with clients to find practical ways forward that fit their values and circumstances. Her approach prioritises listening and supporting clients to build insight, resilience, and clearer choices.

Julia provides in-person sessions in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, as well as online and phone appointments to suit different needs. She is fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian, and is available for sessions on Mondays and Friday afternoons. Julia accepts new clients and works with adults across a wide range of concerns, including intimacy-related issues, eating and body image difficulties, coping with life changes, and caregiving stress.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. It helps people who want to explore their feelings, build self-understanding, and develop coping strategies for stress, low mood, and life transitions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy provides a structured way to work with the effects of trauma and abuse, using techniques that help process painful memories and reduce their ongoing impact. It is suited to individuals seeking to understand how past events shape current reactions and to regain a greater sense of control.

Imago Relationship Therapy offers tools for couples to improve communication, understand recurring conflicts, and rebuild emotional connection. It helps partners address patterns that undermine trust and intimacy and supports healthier relationship dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julia works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options openly and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

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 care from home. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, support for clients who cannot attend in person, and the ability to continue work consistently regardless of location.
