About Julie

Julie Shore is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns and codependency-related patterns. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical steps such as setting boundaries and managing strong emotions.

Julie uses an integrative approach, drawing on several therapies to fit what the client needs. She commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-focused ideas. In practice this means talking through unhelpful thoughts, noticing values and choices, and looking at how early relationships affect current patterns.

Her background includes a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follows their Ethical Framework. Julie has worked in charity settings and a hospice, supporting people with bereavement, complex mental health issues and addiction concerns.

Sessions tend to focus on immediate skills as well as underlying patterns. Clients often work on boundary-setting, managing anxiety, grief processing and reducing reliance on substances or behaviours that keep them stuck. Julie also has experience with issues linked to ADHD, attachment difficulties and caregiver stress.

Julie’s own route into counselling included personal recovery and volunteer work at a local mental health charity. That lived experience is part of her perspective, alongside formal study and ongoing professional development. To begin, readers are asked to use the site matching process and schedule an initial appointment.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Julie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps aligned with those values. ACT often helps when someone feels stuck by fear or avoidance and wants practical ways to move forward.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is useful for immediate symptom relief such as managing panic, low mood or anxious thinking. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current behaviour and boundary setting.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Julie treats the selection of techniques as a collaborative decision based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She will check in about what is or isn’t helping and adjust the plan together.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of approaches through remote sessions, and Julie will discuss which method and format best suit practical life constraints.
