About Julie

Dr Julie Bradshaw MBE is a psychotherapist and counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and 25 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, self‑esteem and related concerns. She also supports clients with relationship and family issues, grief, trauma, eating and career questions. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Her approach adapts to what each person needs. She uses client‑centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally‑focused work. Hypnotherapy and solution‑focused strategies are also part of her toolkit. She aims to match the method to the problem and to the person rather than applying a single formula.

Julie emphasises the relationship between counsellor and client as central to progress. She says the initial call checks that they are a good fit. Where a match is made, she combines talking work with practical tools to reduce symptoms and change patterns of thought and behaviour.

She describes some brief, goal‑oriented interventions such as time line therapy and life coaching for clients who want faster change. Other sessions draw on CBT and emotionally‑focused techniques when people need to process trauma, grief or mood difficulties. She also uses hypnotherapy for targeted work when appropriate.

Fees vary by location and are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a prospective client uses the See online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session to discuss goals and method.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client‑centred therapy focuses on building a trusting working relationship and following what the client brings to the session. It helps when people need to talk through feelings, clarify priorities and feel understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises and short experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping skills. Hypnotherapy works with focused relaxation and guided imagery to address specific habits, strong emotional responses or unhelpful patterns and can be used for issues such as smoking cessation or certain phobias.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they agree a plan and adjust methods as needed, combining talking therapies with practical techniques when appropriate.

The biography indicates online work and international practice, but does not list specific session formats here. Before booking, confirm which formats are offered and any technical or scheduling details. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in appointments when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and hypnotherapy scripts for remote use so that practical therapy continues even when meeting by distance.
