Julie Shore, BACP, NCPS

Julie Shore is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and midlife matters. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people take practical steps forward.

Julie draws on several therapeutic styles to meet each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside attachment-focused and existential ideas. This mix lets her work on thoughts, feelings and the relationships that shape them.

Her background includes 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) and also holds NCPS. She has around four years of professional practice in charity and hospice settings as well as private practice.

Clients often bring issues such as trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, addiction, bereavement, career strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Julie also supports people with separation, attachment difficulties, ageing concerns and caregiving stress. She describes therapy as a tailored process that respects each person's story.

Her own recovery from depression and addiction led her into counselling and shaped her practical, down-to-earth style. To begin, a person completes a short questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the matching process used by the service.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past and current relationships shape emotions and reactions, which can be helpful for relationship and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods collaboratively. Clients and therapist together decide which ideas and exercises to try and review what helps over time.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day tasks, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue counselling while managing health or mobility limits. Registered or accredited professionals can offer tailored support through remote sessions, and your counsellor will help you choose a rhythm and format that fits your routine.
