About Julie
Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE has 25 years of experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem and depression among other concerns. Julie also lists support for relationship and family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, anger, career change, bipolar, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Julie begins with a short introductory call to check fit. She believes the relationship between counsellor and client matters most. That first conversation is used to decide how to work together and which methods to try first.
Her practice draws on several approaches. These include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural methods, emotionally-focused ideas, hypnotherapy and solution-focused tools. She also uses life coaching techniques when that suits the person’s goals.
Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and finding practical ways to change them. Julie explains methods plainly and works on what a person wants to achieve next. She says people have the resources to improve their situation and that therapy can speed that process up.
Julie has worked with hundreds of people over the years and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire and book an initial session so they can agree the best steps forward.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Julie uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy alongside hypnotherapy in her practice. Client-centred work focuses on building a constructive working relationship and helps people talk through what matters to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies for change. Hypnotherapy aims to access deeper patterns and can be used when someone wants to address entrenched habits or strong emotional responses.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Julie uses an initial call and the first sessions to agree which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. She adapts the plan as progress is made and checks in regularly to see what is working.
The biography notes she works online for people across the UK and internationally, but it does not list exact session formats. Before booking, confirm which session types are offered and the practical details. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around work, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue work if someone moves location, while the counsellor and client decide together how to structure timings and follow-ups.
