Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE , BACP

Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE brings more than 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist, counsellor and life coach, guiding hundreds of people from where they are now to where they want to be. She emphasises the importance of a good fit between therapist and client and uses an initial call to ensure rapport and alignment of goals before work begins.

Her practice is flexible and responsive to each person’s needs. Julie works from the belief that people are not defined by their behaviours and that everyone has internal resources to change and expand their potential. Central to her approach is the therapeutic relationship - she creates a safe, trusting space for exploration where clients can examine deep issues, release limiting decisions and pursue positive forward movement.

Julie draws on a wide range of methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centred and humanistic approaches, Gestalt therapy, integrative work, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy, hypnosis and breakthrough life coaching. She also uses tools such as the MindSonar profile to illuminate thinking patterns relevant to a client’s goals. Her practice integrates coaching and therapy techniques to address problems such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and grief, eating concerns, anger, career issues, ADHD and other focus areas.

Throughout her work she aims to provide a non-judgemental environment that empowers people to discard long-held baggage and move toward lasting change. Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE is registered with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers online sessions across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE combines client-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside hypnotherapy to meet a wide range of needs. Client-centred therapy focuses on building a supportive, non-judgemental relationship that helps people explore their feelings and self-understanding, which can be especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related concerns. Hypnotherapy works with focused relaxation and guided attention to access subconscious patterns and can support work on habits, phobias and limiting beliefs.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process and will be determined collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the presenting difficulties to tailor methods that fit the client’s needs and circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and styles of communication. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and to choose the medium that feels most comfortable, enabling consistent work toward goals with licensed professionals and therapists.
