About Julie
Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, eating issues, anger, ADHD and major life changes.
Julie offers practical coaching for career questions, smoking or vaping cessation, and relationship or family concerns. She brings 25 years of experience and works with people from the United Kingdom and internationally, in English. Julie believes the relationship between counsellor and client matters most.
Background and approach
She begins with a short call to check fit and agree how to proceed. Sessions are shaped around the person rather than a fixed formula. Julie aims to make the work straightforward and goal-focused so people see clear steps forward.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas. She also uses hypnotherapy and solution-focused techniques when these suit the client. Tools are chosen to match the problem and the person’s preferences rather than to follow a single method.
Julie describes people as more than their behaviours and looks for strengths to build on. In sessions she helps identify limiting beliefs and emotional patterns, then works to change them so daily life becomes easier. The work can include short-term coaching or deeper therapeutic exploration depending on need.
Practical matters are discussed at the start, including session format and how to fit therapy into a busy life. Julie offers video, phone, live chat and text-based sessions, and helps people plan realistic next steps. The emphasis is on steady, achievable progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships and personal patterns. It helps people make sense of strong feelings and change how they react in stressful moments.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers and build confidence to make changes.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers straightforward techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful behaviours through clear, practical tasks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits the person’s goals and preferences. This is a joint process and methods can be adapted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options help people fit sessions around work, caring duties or travel and make it easier to keep work consistent over time.
