Julie Shore

Julie Shore is a counsellor who aims to help people struggling with anger, stress and life changes. She writes in plain terms and offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and past hurts. Julie has four years of professional experience and works from the UK. Julie draws on several therapy styles to match each person's needs rather than following a single method. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope with anxiety, grief, low mood, addiction-related worries and relationship issues. She also supports people facing work stress, caregiver strain and challenges linked to health conditions. Her training includes a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Julie has completed courses in anger management, assertiveness, and suicide and self-harm awareness, and she continues her studies in related topics. Before private practice she volunteered and worked for local mental health charities and at a cancer hospice, where she supported people through bereavement. Those roles influenced how she works with loss and family dynamics. Julie’s own experience of recovery from depression and addiction shapes her approach. She says this personal history helps her stay grounded and practical when helping others take small steps towards change.

How Julie’s approaches fit with online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while working toward things that matter to them. It suits issues like anxiety, anger and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current reactions and connections. It can help with anger linked to trust and abandonment. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; this can be useful for stress, low mood and compulsive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort. Sessions can blend elements from different approaches so therapy feels tailored and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, for example allowing shorter check-ins during a work break or removing travel time. It also offers flexibility for people juggling health appointments, caregiving or shift work. A brief conversation at the start will establish how to make sessions practical and useful for day-to-day life.
