Welcome to Skylark Counselling

Hello!

My name is Julia and I am a Person-Centred Counsellor based in Portsmouth, U.K.

I appreciate how challenging it can be to take steps to access support, so thank you for taking the time to visit.

I am hopeful you will find the information you need to help you decide if I could be the right counsellor for you, but please do get in contact if you have any questions, or would like to arrange an initial chat. 🙂

Areas I work with

I have knowledge and experience in supporting clients who would like support with:

• Anxiety

• Autism

• Bereavement

• Depression

• Identity exploration

• Gender exploration

• Life transitions

• Relationships

• Spiritual exploration

• Sexuality exploration

• Stress

• Suicidal thoughts

• Visible difference

I am also experienced in supporting clients who are not quite sure what is ‘wrong’, and who would benefit from exploring things in an open way in their sessions.

I often work with clients to find ways to develop self-acceptance, wholeness, and authenticity. I have experience of supporting clients to explore questions about their identity, and / or a sense of feeling ‘different’, or of being ‘on the outside’ of things. I am interested in the ways in which we can experience a sense of personal power, and can embody our own voice.

In my practice, I work hard to be:

• ADHD aware

• Anti-racist

• Autism aware

• Disability aware

• G.S.R.D aware

• Intersectional identity aware

• Menopause aware

• Mental health diagnosis aware

• Queer inclusive

• Sex positive

• Sex work aware

• Trauma informed

• Visible difference aware

I am open to working with any kind of client provided they are based in the U.K. and are over 18. I will always be honest about my competency, knowledge and experience when discussing what you need, and I am happy to assist in supporting you to access alternative support if that is what is in your best interest at a given time.
