About Julie
Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and major life changes. She works with depression, relationship concerns, trauma, grief and a wide range of other difficulties.
Julie uses practical methods to help people move from where they are now to where they want to be. Julie believes the right fit between client and therapist matters most. An initial call makes sure the working relationship suits both people.
Background and approach
She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where someone can talk about difficult issues and begin to make changes. Her approach adapts to the person in front of her. She draws on hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Client-Centred Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and solution-focused work to match the need.
Sessions can include focused techniques, gentle exploration and practical strategies to tackle immediate problems. Julie emphasises that people are not defined by their behaviour and that they have resources to change. She often uses coaching-style work to clarify goals and realign values so motivation follows.
Some interventions aim to address the root of an issue and reduce the need for ongoing therapy. With 25 years' experience, Julie has worked with hundreds of people across many concerns. She offers online sessions across the United Kingdom and internationally.
The first step is a short call to agree goals and plan the best way to work together.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Hypnotherapy offers guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access thoughts or memories that influence current behaviour. It is often used to address habits, smoking or strong emotional responses by working with deeper mental patterns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test it and practise new ways of responding to reduce anxiety and low mood.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a supportive relationship where a person can be understood and heard. This approach helps people explore their values and find their own solutions without pressure from the therapist.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose techniques that fit. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy makes those approaches accessible without travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible brief contact across the week. These options help sessions fit around work, family or other commitments.
