About Julie

Dr Julie Bradshaw MBE is a psychotherapist and counsellor with 25 years of practice in the United Kingdom and a BACP registration. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and depression, as well as ADHD, grief and life changes. She also supports those dealing with eating issues, anger, career transitions and relationship concerns.

Julie adapts the way she works to each person’s needs. She believes people are not defined by their behaviour and that they already have resources to change. The initial call is used to check the fit between client and counsellor before moving to sessions.

Her approach draws on several methods. She combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused techniques. She also uses hypnotherapy and elements from other practical methods when they suit the issue being addressed.

Julie places strong emphasis on the quality of the working relationship. She says a good rapport makes it easier for people to identify limiting patterns and to work through deep issues. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to test new ways of responding.

She offers focused interventions such as time line work and breakthrough coaching for people who want shorter, goal-oriented programmes. These sessions look at beliefs and motivations and aim to help people move forward with clearer goals and fewer repetitive problems.

Julie provides sessions online for people across the UK and worldwide. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment so they and Julie can confirm how they will work together.

Working with EFT, client-centred and CBT online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to look at emotions and patterns that repeat in relationships and personal life. It helps people name hard-to-reach feelings and notice how those feelings shape reactions.

Client-centred work focuses on listening and exploring what matters to the person. It aims to make space for honest reflection and to build trust so people can decide what changes they want to make.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools to test and change unhelpful thinking and coping strategies, useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss what seems most helpful based on the person’s goals and preferences and will adjust methods as the work progresses. The process is collaborative and guided by what the client finds useful.

The biography states she offers online sessions across the UK and worldwide; confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to deliver the same kinds of therapeutic conversations as face-to-face meetings, while adapting practical details to the client’s circumstances.
