   About Julie

   Julie Shore is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and mood difficulties, plus issues such as addiction, relationship breakdown and life changes. Julie aims to make the first step easier by offering a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them.

   Her approach draws on a mix of methods so sessions are tailored to each person. Motivational Interviewing features alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-focused ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. This blended style lets her match strategies to a person’s goals and pace.

   Julie trained through a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of professional experience and has worked in both charity and hospice settings.

   Her background includes work supporting people with bereavement, suicidal thinking, addiction and complex life stress. She has completed additional courses in anger management, assertiveness, suicide and self-harm awareness, and psychopharmacology studies are ongoing.

   Julie’s own recovery journey informs her style and commitment to listening without judgement. If someone is unsure about therapy, she encourages questions and a brief initial conversation to explain how she works and what to expect.

2. How Julie uses different approaches online

   Motivational Interviewing is about helping someone find their own reasons for change. It uses curious, non-confrontational conversation to build motivation and small, achievable steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying values and taking committed action while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings.
   
   Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand recurring emotions and improve how they relate to others. Julie draws on these approaches to shape sessions around practical aims such as managing anxiety, coping with loss or addressing addictive behaviour.
   
   Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that suit their goals, pace and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting plans as progress is made.
   
   The profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, and make it simpler to attend from a quieter location. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt interventions used in face-to-face work so they remain practical and focused when delivered remotely.
