Julie Shore

Julie Shore offers a calm, straightforward way to begin when life feels overwhelming. She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for anyone who is nervous about starting therapy.

Julie trained in counselling and psychotherapy and holds 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. She has four years of professional experience and draws on several therapy approaches to suit individual needs.

Her background includes volunteer work with a local mental health charity and roles supporting people at a cancer hospice, where she focused on grief and bereavement. She has also worked with people affected by addiction and suicidal thoughts while working for a charity setting prior to opening a private practice in 2023.

Julie describes her style as empathic, warm and supportive. She uses an integrative approach, combining methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-informed work to shape sessions around each person. Sessions often include practical coping strategies and space to talk through difficult feelings.

Her own recovery from depression and addiction informs a practical, hopeful stance in therapy. The focus is on helping people regain steadiness, set clearer boundaries and build skills to cope with life changes and ongoing stress.

How Julie uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and still move toward what matters to them. It can be useful when anxiety, depression or life changes make it hard to take steps forward. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape trust and connection; it can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment issues and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working until the best fit is clear. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they address the most pressing problems first and build useful skills over time.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. In general online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for steady, regular contact while they work on coping strategies, boundary setting and managing stress.
