About Julita
Counsellor Julita Ostrowska is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people coping with life changes, sleep problems, addictions and career concerns.
Julita uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person and their experience at the centre of sessions. She also draws on Jungian ideas and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns, understand feelings and try out new ways of responding. Sessions may include breath work, gentle body awareness and guided imagery as ways to help people access thoughts and feelings that are hard to reach in words.
Her background includes a four-year postgraduate diploma in counselling and psychotherapy from the Centre of Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London and an earlier one-year fundamentals course at the same centre. Those trainings informed her practice and her interest in combining talk work with body-based methods and mindfulness.
Julita has led movement and breathwork workshops and completed a yoga teacher training in Thailand. She uses movement, breathing and mindfulness exercises alongside talking to help people break unhelpful patterns and develop day-to-day coping skills.
She offers sessions in English, Italian and Polish and works with people from a range of backgrounds, including international clients. To check current session options and arrange a first appointment, follow the site booking steps and complete the short matching questionnaire.
How her approaches fit with online counselling
Client-Centred work focuses on the person's experience and priorities. It involves listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions. This approach supports issues like anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.Jungian ideas look at recurring life patterns and personal symbols. Talking about dreams or unconscious themes can help with questions about identity, attachment and deep emotional patterns.
She also uses mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. Mindfulness practices can be useful for stress, sleep problems and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape the focus of sessions and the practical exercises used between meetings.
If you want to use online counselling, please confirm the session formats available before booking. The online option can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt breathing, mindfulness and reflective exercises to work remotely, and the counsellor will explain what to expect at your first appointment.
