Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE

Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, eating concerns and addictions. She also helps with low self-esteem, depression, grief and life changes. Julie blends talking therapy and coaching to help people move from where they are to where they want to be.

Julie has 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist, counsellor and life coach. She begins by checking that the relationship feels right for both people. That initial conversation is used to see whether her way of working matches what the person needs.

Her approach adapts to each individual. She believes people are not defined by their behaviour and that they already have resources to change. Sessions aim to uncover those strengths and set realistic steps toward goals.

Julie uses a range of methods including cognitive behavioural techniques, client-centred ideas, emotionally focused thinking and hypnotherapy. She may also draw on solution-focused and coaching tools to help with practical problem solving and motivation.

The relationship between client and counsellor is central to her work. Julie aims to create a trusting space where difficult issues can be discussed without judgement. The focus is on letting go of limiting beliefs and developing new ways of coping.

She offers online sessions across the United Kingdom and internationally. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions after the initial contact to ensure the approach fits their needs.

How Julie uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship so the person feels heard and understood; it is helpful for lowering anxiety and exploring self-esteem issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this can be useful for anxiety, depression and eating concerns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and attachment-style patterns in relationships, helping people identify and shift repetitive emotional responses that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss different methods and decide together which fit the person's goals, needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjusted as therapy progresses.

Her biography notes online availability across the United Kingdom and internationally. If specific session formats matter to you, check the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed and offer choices about being on camera or not.
