About Julie

Julie Shore is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She draws on four years of experience to help people through stressful and painful life moments. Clients commonly come for support with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship worries, including issues linked to money and life changes.

Julie takes a warm, non-judgemental approach in sessions. She works collaboratively and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Her style aims to make conversations straightforward and manageable, so people feel able to take small steps forward at their own pace.

Her background includes a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Julie is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and also holds NCPS accreditation. She has worked in charity settings and a hospice, supporting bereavement and complex emotional needs.

Julie uses an integrative approach, blending practical methods with reflective work. She draws on cognitive and behavioural techniques alongside acceptance-based and attachment-focused ideas to tailor sessions to an individual’s needs. This flexibility helps with issues such as trauma, addiction concerns, anger and low self-esteem.

Her own experience of recovering from addiction and financial hardship shaped her decision to become a counsellor. That personal history informs a compassionate way of working and an emphasis on building practical coping skills alongside emotional understanding.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Julie often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people accept difficult feelings and focus on actions that reflect their values. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce distress. CBT techniques can be useful for stress, depression and managing unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods to suit what each person needs. That collaboration helps choose whether more reflective or more practical tools are used in sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care during life changes and can make it simpler to try different ways of working without rearranging other commitments.
