Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE, BACP

Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing trauma, grief, relationship problems, eating difficulties, anger and major life changes. Julie offers coaching for career questions and life purpose, and works with a wide range of other concerns including ADHD and bipolar mood issues.

She begins by checking fit with an initial call so both sides can see how things feel. Julie believes people are not defined by their behaviour and that everyone has resources they can use to change. Her style puts the relationship first and gives space to talk without judgement.

Julie adapts her methods to what a person needs. She commonly uses client-centred approaches alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques, and includes hypnotherapy when appropriate. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical steps forward.

Her practice combines talking work with focused interventions such as time line work and coaching-style breakthrough sessions. These aim to tackle limiting beliefs and help people set and reach realistic goals. The work is described simply as helping someone clear the baggage that holds them back and build stronger coping skills.

Julie has worked in counselling and coaching for 25 years and holds BACP membership. She sees people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients, with sessions conducted in English. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Julie's approaches work for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and topics. It helps with low self-esteem, life transitions and emotional overwhelm by emphasising understanding and acceptance.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses structured exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression and some addictive behaviours.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings and how they shape relationships with others and oneself. It can help people recognise and change emotional patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss different ways of working and help determine which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography notes online practice but does not specify session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow quicker access from different locations. It can also make shorter check-ins or sessions outside normal hours more practical for some people.
