Julie Shore, BACP, NCPS

Julie Shore is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Staffordshire, United Kingdom, who brings four years of professional experience to her private practice. She works with a wide range of difficulties including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family problems, self-esteem concerns, anger, career and life changes, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her practice also extends to issues such as addiction, bereavement, attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or commitment difficulties.

Julie trained through a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and has completed additional courses in anger management, assertiveness, health and wellbeing, and suicide and self-harm awareness and prevention. She is currently studying for a Diploma in Criminology and undertaking further learning in eating disorders awareness, mental health first aid and psychopharmacology. Julie is a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and also holds NCPS credentials, reflecting her professional training and commitment to recognised practice and ethical standards.

Her therapeutic style is empathic, warm and non-judgmental, and she favours an integrative approach that draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Existential Therapy to tailor a treatment plan to each person. Julie’s interest in counselling grew from her own experience with depression, benzodiazepine and alcohol addiction and financial hardship, and the support she received inspired her to volunteer, to work in charitable and hospice settings, and ultimately to open her own practice in 2023. She offers supportive, person-focused care aimed at helping people take practical steps toward greater resilience and wellbeing.
