About Julie
Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE is a psychotherapist, counsellor and life coach with 25 years' experience helping people overcome phobias, anxiety, stress and addictions. She focuses on practical change and works with each person to find the best way forward.
Julie aims to build a strong working relationship so people feel able to talk honestly and make steady progress. She begins with a short initial call to check fit and priorities.
Background and approach
Sessions use a mix of approaches chosen to match the person’s needs, including person-centred work, cognitive techniques and hypnotherapy. The emphasis is on helping people identify what they want to change and taking clear steps towards those goals. Julie believes clients already have internal resources to move forward and that therapy is about unlocking those strengths.
She makes space for people to examine limiting beliefs, phobias and emotional blocks without judgement. Practical tools and focused conversations are used to reduce symptoms and build new habits. Her background combines psychotherapy, counselling and life coaching methods.
Over many years she has worked with hundreds of people and uses methods such as solution-focused techniques, emotionally-focused ideas and timeline interventions when they suit the situation. This flexible approach lets her adapt to different concerns and preferences. Sessions are offered online across the United Kingdom and internationally in English.
People can expect a supportive, goal-oriented process that aims to reduce distress and increase confidence. The initial matching call clarifies goals, approach and the practical next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online treatment options
Julie commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting rapport so people can speak freely and explore feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage phobias and change unhelpful habits.She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas when relationships or strong feelings are central to the issue. EFT-style methods help people notice emotion patterns and try new ways of responding, which can ease distress and improve coping. These approaches are chosen to match the person and the problem rather than being applied uniformly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options in the initial call and adapt methods as goals and preferences become clearer. This collaborative process helps set realistic steps and keeps the focus on what the person wants to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full session where noticing body language helps, phone works well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick updates or people who prefer not to use audio. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family routines and to maintain continuity when circumstances change.
