About Julie

Julie Shore, BACP, NCPS, is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship troubles and life changes. She also lists focus areas such as ADHD, self-esteem, anger and compassion fatigue.

Julie draws on several approaches in her work, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-informed ideas. Sessions are conversational and practical. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes and build everyday coping skills.

Her background includes a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follows their ethical framework. Julie has also completed courses in anger management, assertiveness, suicide and self-harm awareness, and psychopharmacology studies.

She has experience working at a cancer hospice and for local mental health charities, supporting people through grief, bereavement and suicidal ideation. In 2023 she set up a private practice to continue that work independently. Her lived experience with mental health and addiction informs her approach and understanding.

Julie encourages straightforward conversation about what someone needs from counselling. She asks people to start by using the site matching tool and scheduling an initial session so they can agree goals and a practical plan together.

How Julie uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with difficult life events.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. It offers practical strategies such as behavioural experiments and simple thought records to test unhelpful assumptions.

Attachment-Based ideas look at how past relationships shape current reactions and closeness with others. This can help when relationship worries, abandonment or attachment issues affect everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress in plain terms.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online appointments that help people practise skills between sessions and apply what they learn in real situations.
