Julie Shore, BACP, NCPS

Julie Shore is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low mood and life changes. Julie draws on her own experience of recovery to offer practical support and encouragement as people take small steps forward.

She blends approaches to fit each person rather than using one fixed method. Sessions usually focus on building coping skills, managing strong emotions, and improving day-to-day functioning. Julie has particular experience supporting people with addiction issues, bereavement and the emotional effects of long-term health concerns.

Julie holds 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 also completed training in anger management, suicide and self-harm awareness, and psychopharmacology. Her background includes work at a cancer hospice and several mental health charities.

In therapy she offers a compassionate, empathetic presence and works collaboratively to set clear, achievable goals. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what can make life more manageable. She encourages practical strategies alongside reflection about meaning, values and relationships.

If you are concerned about caregiver stress, attachment issues or ageing and geriatric issues, Julie can help you talk through those worries and plan next steps. To begin, she asks people to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take action aligned with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape current reactions and connections. That work can be especially helpful for attachment issues and relationship struggles. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, relying on empathic listening and acceptance to support self-understanding and growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Julie will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. She uses her integrative background to adapt methods and co-design a plan that fits the individual rather than imposing a fixed model.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to attend regular sessions around work, caregiving or health needs and may reduce travel and time commitments. It also allows people to choose quieter settings, shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on what suits their day-to-day life.
