About Julie
Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 25 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety and a wide range of other concerns including addictions, self-esteem, depression and phobias. Julie uses different methods to help people move from where they are now to where they want to be and emphasises finding a good fit at the start.
Julie believes the relationship between counsellor and client makes the most difference. She uses an initial call to check fit and to agree how to work together. Sessions focus on what a person is struggling with right now and practical steps to reduce distress and improve coping.
Her approach adapts to each person. She draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking. Emotion-focused ideas are used where feelings and attachment issues are important.
Julie also offers brief, goal-focused tools such as solution-focused work and time-limited coaching-style sessions. Hypnotherapy and specific change techniques are offered for targeted issues like phobias, habits and smoking or vaping cessation.
Clients are encouraged to notice what helps and to practise skills between sessions. Julie aims to help people reduce limiting beliefs and unwanted behaviours, and to realign motivation with personal goals. She accepts international clients and works with English-language speakers.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says, helping them feel understood and able to clarify their own goals. It is useful when someone needs time to make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, phobias and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to how emotions shape relationships and self-view and can be useful when strong feelings or attachment issues are central.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options with the client and agree a way of working based on needs, goals and preferences. That choice is a collaborative decision and can change as progress is made.
The biography mentions online work, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or by allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also make it simpler to work with people who live outside the therapist's immediate area. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these benefits to help sessions fit around everyday commitments.
