Julie Shore, BACP, NCPS

Julie Shore is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship worries. She works with people dealing with trauma, depression, ADHD and issues linked to identity, including LGBT concerns. Julie takes a warm, non-judgemental approach to make the first steps into therapy easier for worried clients.

She practices in an integrative way, drawing on different approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping strategies and building day-to-day skills. Conversations aim to be practical and straightforward, with space to talk about painful experiences and to plan small changes.

Julie trained in counselling and psychotherapy and holds a Certificate in Counselling plus a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. She is a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and also holds NCPS. Her background includes work at a cancer hospice and volunteer work at a local mental health charity.

Her personal experience of recovery from depression and addiction informs how she listens and responds. That experience helps her understand setbacks and hope in equal measure. Clients can expect a supportive, compassionate therapist who aims to tailor sessions to their particular situation.

To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Julie asks questions about what matters most to the client and works with them to set practical next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Julie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of her integrative practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build safer ways of relating to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help clients try different ideas to see what fits best. Together they set goals and adapt methods based on the client's needs, preferences and progress rather than relying on one fixed method.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available formats before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins that suit a workday break. It also supports people who prefer to speak from a familiar environment or who need flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques such as ACT and attachment work for remote sessions, using conversation, exercises and between-session tasks to help clients practise new ways of coping and relating.
