Julia-Sophie Walker Psychotherapy

Welcome. 

I'm Julia-Sophie (she/her/hers), a UKCP-accredited Gestalt psychotherapist (MSc) based in Central Oxford. I offer relational, embodied and trauma-informed therapy for adults (18+), supporting people with trauma, relationship and attachment difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, identity and life transitions. I also have particular experience working with musicians, artists and creatives. I work in person in Oxford and online worldwide.

New Beginnings

Life doesn't always give us the space to slow down and understand what's really going on beneath the surface. Whether you're carrying trauma, navigating life as a neurodivergent adult, questioning where you belong, struggling in your relationships, feeling overwhelmed or burnt out, or simply sensing that something needs to change, therapy with someone outside your everyday world can open up new ways of seeing, feeling and moving forward.

I Provide Therapy for :

  • Anxiety, depression and emotional overwhelm

  • Relationship, communication and intimacy difficulties

  • Low self-esteem, shame and perfectionism

  • Burnout, chronic stress and chronic fatigue

  • Grief, loss and significant life transitions

  • Childhood relational wounds and attachment difficulties

  • Trauma (from one-off events or long-term experiences)

  • Identity, belonging and self-acceptance

  • Creative blocks and loss of purpose

  • Career uncertainty and major life changes

  • ADHD, autism and AuDHD (Late-discovered ADHD and autism)

  • Loneliness and social isolation

  • Emotional regulation and nervous system overwhelm

  • Anger, resentment and emotional disconnection

  • Existential questions, meaning and purpose

  • Burnout

  • Performance anxiety

  • The psychological impact of success, recognition and fame

  • Identity after success or career change

  • Life on tour and the pressures of the music industry

  • Imposter syndrome

  • Creative blocks and reconnecting with creativity

  • Industry-related stress, rejection and uncertainty

  • Balancing creative work with relationships and wellbeing
