About Julie
Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. She also supports concerns such as low self-esteem, grief, trauma, eating issues, anger and life changes.
Julie uses straightforward, conversational sessions to help people move from where they are now to where they want to be. Julie has 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist, counsellor and life coach. She believes the relationship between counsellor and client matters most.
Background and approach
The first call checks whether the pair are a good fit and what the person hopes to achieve. She adapts her style to the person in front of her. That can include person-centred talking, practical cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused work and solution-focused planning.
Hypnotherapy and coaching-style breakthrough sessions are also offered when they suit the client’s aims. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Julie encourages people to identify unhelpful patterns and to build on the strengths they already have.
Work can target thoughts and behaviours, emotional processing, or short-term strategies for coping with immediate problems. Julie accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. She offers online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
The approach aims to be flexible so therapy can fit around work and family life.

Online support
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to help people name and process strong emotions and to build more helpful emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss different methods and help decide which suits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging can suit regular, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family commitments while still focusing on practical change.
