Julie Shore, BACP, NCPS

Julie Shore is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, non-judgemental approach and aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or life changes. Julie draws on her own lived experience to understand what it feels like when day-to-day life becomes hard to manage.

She uses a blend of approaches chosen to suit each person's needs rather than a single method. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, clearer communication, setting boundaries and making sense of difficult feelings. Julie also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction-related issues, bereavement and relationship endings.

Julie holds a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked in charity settings and a hospice, and she has four years of professional experience working with a range of concerns.

Her style is empathic and supportive, aiming to help people find small steps forward and build resilience. Therapy sessions are tailored to each person, with practical conversation and personal reflection used together.

If someone is unsure about starting, Julie encourages questions and a brief matching process before booking. The first step is to complete the short questionnaire and choose a time to meet that fits around everyday life.

How these therapeutic approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when worry, low mood or avoidance are getting in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours influence each other and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and cope with anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations of others and supports steps towards safer connection and healthier boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps to keep sessions relevant and focused on what matters to the client.

The biography does not specify online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use approaches like ACT and CBT in the moment, practising new ways of thinking and behaving in everyday settings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflections and practical tools to work well through remote sessions, helping people apply changes between appointments.
