Julita Ostrowska

Julita Ostrowska is a BACP-registered counsellor with six years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and questions about life direction and career. Julita also supports those coping with trauma, addiction, sleep problems and self-esteem struggles. She speaks English, Italian and Polish and accepts international clients.

Julita uses an integrative approach that blends client-centred ideas with Jungian thinking and mindfulness. Sessions focus on what is happening now, how past patterns show up, and what practical steps feel manageable. She often uses breathing, visualisation and mindfulness exercises to help regulate emotion and attention.

Her background includes a four-year postgraduate diploma in counselling and psychotherapy from the Centre of Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London and a one-year fundamentals course at the same centre. Training and personal practice in breathwork, movement and dream work inform her way of working. She also completed Yoga Teacher Training and has led movement workshops.

In sessions Julita may include somatic techniques and attention to bodily experience when that seems helpful. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes, codependency, control and commitment issues, and problems that can follow separation or infidelity. Practical goal-setting is used alongside reflective work.

People can expect a conversational style that mixes talking with experiential exercises. Julita describes her work as focused on helping people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and connect more clearly with what matters to them, including questions around life purpose and next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Julita draws on client-centred work, Jungian ideas and mindfulness practice when she works online. Client-centred therapy emphasises attentive listening and helping people put words to what they feel, which can be useful for stress, grief and relationship issues. Jungian-informed work looks at recurring life patterns and symbolism such as dreams to help people understand inner conflicts and questions about meaning. Mindfulness practice brings simple attention and breathing exercises into sessions to help with anxiety, sleep and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative. The therapist will discuss what a person needs, try different techniques, and adjust the balance of talking, mindfulness and somatic noticing over time. Finding a fit is part of the work rather than a fixed promise up front.

Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use practices such as guided breathing or visualisation without travel. If someone prefers to focus on movement or body-based exercises, the therapist can adapt the work to what is practical within the chosen session format.
