Background and approach

Dream work and visualisation are sometimes used to surface deeper material. Julita’s approach is influenced by somatic awareness and client-centred principles, so the person’s experience directs the work. Julita completed a four-year postgraduate diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy at the Centre of Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London.

She also completed a one-year course in fundamentals of counselling and psychotherapy there. Her training led her to explore breathwork, embodiment and movement as parts of therapy. She has around six years of experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds.

Julita has also led workshops on movement, bodywork and energy practices and completed Yoga Teacher Training in Thailand. Those experiences inform her somatic and mindfulness-based methods. People meet Julita to work on attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, intimacy and commitment problems, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

She brings lived experience, empathy and a practical focus to help people notice patterns and try different ways of relating to themselves.

How somatic and client-centred work translates online

Julita draws on somatic therapy to help people notice how emotions show up in the body. That can include paying attention to breath, posture and movement to reduce tension and make feelings clearer. She also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and following the person’s pace, so the work is led by what feels most important to the client.

Jungian ideas can be used in online sessions too, for instance through dream work and imagery to access deeper themes. These approaches often help with anxiety, grief, relationship patterns and feeling stuck. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided together based on needs, goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or who live far from services. Video calls let the counsellor and client see non-verbal cues, while phone sessions, live chat and text messaging provide other ways to keep in touch. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
