About Julie

Julie Shore works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression using an integrative counselling approach that draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural methods. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.

Julie offers practical, down-to-earth counselling. Sessions focus on talking things through, building coping skills and trying different ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. She uses a mix of approaches so the work can match what a person needs at the time rather than following a single method.

Her background includes study for a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, plus additional short courses in areas such as anger management, suicide and self-harm awareness, and psychopharmacology. She has also undertaken further study in criminology and eating disorder awareness.

Early in her practice she volunteered with a local mental health charity and later worked in a cancer hospice, supporting people through loss and bereavement. From 2022 she worked part-time for a charity supporting people with a wide range of difficulties, including suicidal thinking, before setting up a private practice in 2023.

Julie draws on both lived experience and professional training in her work. She aims to help people who are facing relationship problems, addiction, family difficulties, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD concerns and life changes to find clearer ways of coping and making decisions.

If someone is unsure about how counselling works, she invites questions before booking so people know what to expect in a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotion. It can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment or attachment issues.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person can find their own solutions. It is often helpful when someone needs space to make sense of grief, depression or major life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a plan with each person, adapting methods to fit their goals, needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities and travel. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as those details are not listed here. The subscription model used for sessions allows for scheduling flexibility and can be cancelled at any time.
