Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and low self-esteem. She supports those facing depression, grief, eating concerns, anger and life changes.

Julie also works with issues like bipolar mood swings, ADHD, relationship and career worries, and questions about identity and purpose. Julie draws on 25 years of practice to tailor sessions to each person. She begins with a short call to check fit and goals before agreeing how to proceed.

Background and approach

That initial conversation sets out practical steps and the best way to work together. Her style centres on a warm, respectful relationship. She believes people are not defined by their behaviours and that they already have resources to change.

Sessions aim to create a calm space to talk, test ideas and try new ways of coping. Julie uses a mix of approaches to match the problem and the person. Methods include client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, solution-focused planning, emotionally focused work and hypnotherapy when appropriate.

She explains each option plainly and uses what helps most. Practical tools and short-term coaching are common in her work. Some people use hypnotherapy or timeline techniques to get to a root cause, while others prefer step-by-step behaviour change.

The aim is clear: reduce troubling symptoms, shift unhelpful beliefs and move towards goals. Sessions can take place online by video, phone, chat or messaging. Julie accepts international clients and works from the United Kingdom.

She holds BACP membership and brings two and a half decades of experience to each person she sees.

How Julie's approaches work online

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what she hears and helps people find their own solutions; this approach is useful for building trust and exploring difficult feelings.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and tackle anxiety, depression and compulsive behaviours.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on emotions and patterns in close relationships. It helps people understand strong feelings and change how they respond to painful emotional cycles.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Julie will talk through options on the first call and adapt methods as goals and preferences become clearer. The work is collaborative so changes can be tried and reviewed together.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations, phone can be used for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick updates or ongoing written reflection. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy around work, family commitments and different routines.
