About Julie
Dr Julie Bradshaw MBE is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist with 25 years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and life changes, and she lists life purpose among her focus areas. Julie also supports clients with relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and body-image issues, ADHD and a wide range of other difficulties.
She uses different methods depending on what a person needs. Julie aims to establish a good fit at the start with an initial call. That helps decide which approach is likely to help most and sets the tone for later sessions.
In practice she draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused approaches. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas and hypnotherapy when these suit the goals a person brings. Sessions typically focus on clear steps people can use between appointments.
Julie describes people as more than their behaviour and looks for strengths the client already has. Conversations are direct and practical, helping people identify unhelpful patterns and try alternative responses. Where useful, she applies coaching-style tools to move from understanding to action.
Her background includes many years helping people through process addictions, trauma and mood difficulties as well as career and purpose questions. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment using the site process before beginning work together.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Dr Julie Bradshaw commonly uses client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused ideas in her practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening and building a constructive relationship so people can talk through what matters. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical techniques to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-focused ideas help people understand and process strong feelings and improve how they respond to emotional triggers.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Julie starts by discussing goals, preferences and the issues someone brings, and then helps decide which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as progress is made.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make therapy fit into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday or letting someone join from wherever they are based. Many people find this helps them keep momentum between sessions and try techniques in real situations more easily.
