About Julie

Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE works with people on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, eating and anger issues, career questions and ADHD. She uses a mix of counselling and coaching methods and places importance on making sure she and the client are a good fit before starting work. Dr. Bradshaw is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has 25 years' experience.

Her style adapts to what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and on talking through patterns that keep difficulties going. She believes people are not their behaviours and can build on the resources they already have. The initial call is used to check compatibility and clarify what the client wants to work on.

She draws on client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural methods and emotionally-focused approaches. She also uses hypnotherapy and solution-focused techniques when these suit a client's goals. The choice of method is guided by the issue at hand and how the client prefers to work.

Dr. Bradshaw has worked with hundreds of people over the years and applies approaches aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day coping. She describes some coaching sessions as designed to remove limiting beliefs and help clients set and pursue clear goals. Outcomes emphasise practical change and better functioning in everyday life.

The way sessions are arranged and charged varies with location, and clients are asked to confirm the specific session options before booking.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-centred work focuses on the relationship and on listening to what matters to the person; it helps when someone wants to understand their feelings and decide the next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with change. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional patterns in relationships and can help when a person wants to improve how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then agree which methods to try. That makes sessions a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and allowing people to attend from different locations. As the biography does not list specific session formats, clients should confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online appointments make it easier to keep regular sessions and to continue work even when life circumstances change.
