About Julie Shore
Julie Shore is an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Staffordshire, United Kingdom, with four years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health and life challenges. She works with issues such as stress and anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, substance dependencies including benzodiazepine and alcohol addiction, grief and bereavement, childhood trauma, relationship breakdown, endometriosis and menopause related concerns, redundancy and debt, boundary-setting and assertiveness, anger management, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses a broad spectrum of related difficulties including ADHD, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and family problems.
Julie holds a Certificate in Counselling and a Professional Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has completed additional training in anger management, assertiveness, health and wellbeing, and suicide and self-harm awareness and prevention. She is currently undertaking a Diploma in Criminology and further studies in eating disorders awareness, mental health first aid, and psychopharmacology. Julie lists professional credentials BACP and NCPS - with BACP indicating registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and she follows the professional ethical framework associated with that membership.
Her therapeutic style is empathic, non-judgmental, warm, and supportive. As an integrative practitioner she tailors her approach to the individual, drawing on modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, existential and psychodynamic ideas to shape therapy conversations and treatment plans around each person’s needs. Julie’s own lived experience of depression, benzodiazepine and alcohol addiction, and debt informed her decision to train as a counsellor after receiving help from a local mental health charity and a counsellor who supported her recovery.
Julie began formal counselling studies in late 2017 and gained further experience volunteering for the local mental health charity that supported her. In mid 2020 she worked at a local cancer hospice supporting people through loss and bereavement, and from 2022 she held a part-time charity role working with clients facing a variety of issues including suicidal ideation. In early 2023 she established a private practice to continue supporting people through difficult transitions and emotional challenges. She encourages anyone curious or uncertain about therapy to reach out with questions and offers an open invitation to explore whether working together might be helpful.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Julie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to clarify personal values so actions align with what matters most - this can be helpful for anxiety, mood difficulties, and problems with avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current ways of relating and can support people working through relationship wounds, attachment concerns, and trust issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to build self-understanding and confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie collaborates with each person to explore which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses so the plan remains relevant and practical.
Online therapy with Julie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health needs. These options can make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from home or elsewhere, and continue therapy during life transitions while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor their approach to each individual.
