Julie Shore , BACP, NCPS

Julie Shore is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Staffordshire, United Kingdom, bringing four years of professional experience to her private practice. She combines formal training including a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy with ongoing study in areas such as a Diploma in Criminology, Eating Disorders Awareness, Mental Health First Aid, and Psychopharmacology. Julie is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - which reflects adherence to a recognised ethical framework, and she also holds the NCPS credential.

Her clinical background includes volunteer work with a local mental health charity and roles supporting people at a cancer hospice, where she provided bereavement and loss support. From 2022 until recently she worked part-time for a charity supporting clients with a wide range of concerns, including suicidal ideation. In early 2023 she established her own private practice to continue that work with adults facing diverse challenges.

Julie supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues, relationship and family difficulties, anger, career and life changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and LGBT concerns among other areas. Her style is empathic, non-judgmental, warm, and supportive, and she takes an integrative approach that draws on multiple therapies to tailor treatment to each person. Her personal recovery from depression, benzodiazepine and alcohol addictions, and financial hardship informs her commitment to helping others find resilience and hope. Julie encourages prospective clients to ask questions about the therapy process and to take the next step when they feel ready.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Julie Shore

Julie draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to inform her online practice. ACT helps people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility by teaching practical skills for living with difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current emotional needs and interpersonal dynamics - it is often helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in their own healing by offering empathic, non-directive support that helps build self-understanding and confidence - this approach supports self-esteem, coping, and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julie works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques as the work unfolds so care remains aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, reduce travel time, and enable access to therapy from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
