Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE, BACP

Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE is a psychotherapist, counsellor and life coach based in the United Kingdom with more than 25 years of clinical experience. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has supported hundreds of people through a wide range of emotional, behavioural and life transition challenges. Dr. Bradshaw works collaboratively with each person to move from where they are now to where they want to be, offering an initial call to ensure a good fit before starting work together.

Her practice is grounded in the belief that people are not defined by their behaviours and that they already possess internal resources to change and expand their potential. Central to her approach is the therapeutic relationship; she creates a trusting, personal environment in which clients can explore deep issues, let go of limiting decisions and identify practical steps forward. Dr. Bradshaw draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused methods, hypnotherapy and solution-focused strategies, integrating coaching tools when helpful.

She uses targeted interventions such as Time Line Therapy and the MindSonar Profile Measurement Tool to help uncover root causes, realign motivating values and address persistent patterns. The aim is lasting change that reduces the need for ongoing counselling and supports meaningful progress. Dr. Bradshaw offers online appointments across the UK and internationally and accepts enquiries for video, phone, live chat or text-based sessions.

Approaches that guide online therapy and support

Dr. Julie Bradshaw MBE commonly uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioural therapy and hypnotherapy as part of her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person is listened to and supported to find their own solutions - it helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) identifies the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress and unhelpful patterns. Hypnotherapy works with focused relaxation and guided imagery to access underlying reactions and can be useful for habit change, trauma-related responses and reducing strong emotional triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Dr. Bradshaw treats that choice as a collaborative decision. She will discuss options, consider a client’s goals and preferences and adapt methods over time to suit changing needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. These remote options allow registered professionals to provide ongoing support from different locations, reduce travel time and increase access for international clients while maintaining the therapist-client relationship that underpins effective work.
