Julie Shore , BACP, NCPS

Julie Shore is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She supports those coping with trauma, addiction, relationship break-ups and life changes. Julie uses a warm, non-judgemental style to help people take the next step forward.

She trained in counselling and psychotherapy and holds a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy. Julie is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and also lists NCPS as a credential. She has four years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns.

Julie draws on a blend of therapeutic approaches rather than using a single method. She commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based ideas and Client-centred ways of working, alongside Cognitive Behavioural and Existential perspectives. That lets her tailor conversations to each person’s needs.

Her background includes voluntary work at a local mental health charity and roles supporting people through bereavement at a cancer hospice. She has also worked for charities helping people with suicidal thoughts and addiction related issues. These roles shaped the practical, supportive approach she brings to sessions.

In therapy Julie aims to help people build coping skills, set boundaries and manage strong emotions. She also helps with practical issues such as redundancy, debt and life transitions. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Practices that translate well to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and safety, and it can help with trust issues, grief and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process through listening and acceptance, helping people explore their concerns at their own pace and build self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as the relationship develops. This means sessions can blend different ways of working so the plan matches the individual rather than a fixed technique.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs lower bandwidth or wants a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typed conversation or need support outside typical hours. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping the focus on what will help the person progress.
