About Julie
Dr Julie Bradshaw MBE is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 25 years of experience helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and major life change. She supports clients facing relationship and family concerns, mood disorders, grief, trauma and a wide range of behavioural challenges. She works with LGBT clients and those exploring career or life-purpose questions.
Julie begins by checking that she and the client are a good fit. That first conversation helps both parties agree how to proceed. She believes most people already have the inner resources to change and concentrates on practical steps that build on strengths.
Her practice uses a mix of approaches chosen to match each person's needs. Sessions can involve talking therapies, structured exercises and focused coaching-style work to tackle limiting beliefs and unhelpful patterns. She emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly.
Julie names the client-therapist relationship as central to progress. She aims to create rapport and trust so people can look at deep issues and make lasting changes. She describes her role as helping clients clear the baggage that holds them back.
Her toolkit includes cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused and client-centred ways of working, hypnotherapy and solution-focused methods. She also offers coaching and breakthrough-style sessions designed to target specific problems quickly and support lasting improvement.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's viewpoint and building a strong therapeutic relationship. It helps when someone needs a listening space and support to find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and compulsive behaviours. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment experiences to help people process strong feelings and improve how they relate to themselves and others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include mixing talking, action tasks and coaching-style steps as needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking to know how you will meet. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use exercises or recordings at home as part of their work between sessions. Registered and accredited professionals often adapt techniques for online settings so the core therapeutic work can continue effectively.
