About Julie
Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, career questions and life changes.
People contact her for issues such as ADHD, eating difficulties, anger and process addictions like gambling or compulsive behaviours. Julie works in a calm, direct way and focuses on building a good fit between counsellor and client. She begins with an initial call to check whether the working relationship feels right.
How Julie works
Sessions aim to be practical and goal-focused while also exploring deeper issues when needed. Her approach adapts to the person in front of her. Techniques she uses include client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural approaches, emotionally-focused work, hypnotherapy and solution-focused coaching.
Julie believes people have resources within themselves and helps them find and use those resources to move forward. She places strong emphasis on the quality of the therapeutic relationship. That means creating non-judgemental space where a person can talk openly, identify limiting patterns and set clear goals for change.
Life coaching sessions are offered when the focus is on future plans and behaviour change. With 25 years of experience, Julie combines practical tools and conversational exploration. She accepts international clients and runs sessions online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Julie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and practises from the United Kingdom. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session so they can check the fit and start working toward their goals.

How Julie’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and building a warm, non-judgemental relationship. It helps when someone needs space to talk and to feel listened to as they make changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short-term tasks to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with intense emotions and patterns in relationships. It is useful for people who want to understand emotional triggers and develop healthier responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped before, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans are reviewed as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people send thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and busy family life while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
