About Julie
Julie Shore is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Julie works with common worries young adults face such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and relationship issues, alongside concerns including trauma, ADHD and LGBT matters.
She uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapies rather than a single method. That lets her adapt sessions to what a person needs at the time. Sessions are practical and conversational, often focusing on coping skills, emotional processing and making changes that fit everyday life.
Julie has experience supporting people through bereavement and long-term illness after roles at a local hospice and several charities. She has also worked with people dealing with addiction, suicidal thoughts and the fallout from relationship breakdowns. Her background includes courses in anger management, assertiveness, suicide and self-harm awareness, and psychopharmacology studies.
Her own recovery from depression and addiction informs her approach and motivates her work with others. Julie aims to be straightforward and respectful in sessions, helping clients talk through difficult topics and find manageable steps forward. She invites people who are unsure about therapy to ask questions before booking.
Clients looking for support with transitions typical of early adulthood - leaving home, starting work or study, changing relationships and career worries - will find her focus on practical coping and sense-making relevant and direct.
How her therapeutic approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take action based on personal values. It can help when worry, avoidance or feeling stuck are getting in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress; it suits problems like anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current connections and can help with trust, boundaries and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and together they will try methods that match those aims. If one approach does not fit, they can adjust the focus or try another route so the sessions remain collaborative.
Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study and early career schedules, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when life is busy. Some formats are less time-consuming and need less bandwidth, which can help when evenings or breaks between commitments are when counselling fits best. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain regular work on their goals.
