About Julie
Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE helps people tackle stress, anxiety and related issues such as addictions, low self-esteem, depression and grief. She also supports people facing life changes, career decisions, relationship difficulties and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar.
Julie’s style is practical and direct, and she focuses on finding approaches that suit each person. Julie has 25 years of experience working with many clients. She believes people are not defined by their behaviours and that everyone already has resources to change.
Background and approach
Early conversations check that the working relationship feels like a good fit before therapy continues. Her work centres on building strong rapport. Julie aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through deep issues and let go of limiting beliefs.
She combines talking, active techniques and goal-focused work to help people move forward. Julie uses a mix of methods depending on what a person needs. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, hypnotherapy and solution-focused approaches.
These are woven together to suit the problem and the person rather than sticking to a single model. Sessions can work towards shorter-term goals or longer personal change. Practical tools, mindset work and targeted exercises are offered so people can apply what they learn between sessions.
Julie accepts clients from across the United Kingdom and internationally and delivers therapy online in English. To begin, a short introductory call helps clarify goals and agree the next steps so people know what to expect before committing to regular sessions.
How Julie uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps them find their own solutions, which can be useful for building confidence and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, centres on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change feelings and behaviours; it is often used for anxiety, stress and mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss different ways of working and decide together what fits a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as new issues or priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, practical coaching or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping regular contact with a therapist or counsellor.
