About Julie
Julie Shankly is a counsellor credentialed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 21 years of professional experience helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, eating and sleep difficulties, and career or life changes.
Julie approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She tailors conversations and plans to the needs of the individual. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, so people leave with tools they can use between meetings.
Her background includes a range of therapy styles that she draws on to fit different problems. That means she can offer short-term focused work or deeper exploratory sessions depending on what a person wants. Many clients come with worries about mood, self-esteem, intimacy or parenting strain, and Julie helps them map a path forward.
She also works with issues such as ADHD, burnout and compassion fatigue, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and identity concerns including LGBT matters. Julie pays attention to how life events and loss affect day-to-day rest and functioning, including sleep patterns.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and Julie aims to make it easier by listening first and planning next steps together. People interested in meeting her are guided through a brief matching process to set up an appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding so people can find their own answers; it suits anyone who needs compassionate support for anxiety, relationship worries or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses structured exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative behaviours, which can help with stress, low mood, sleep problems and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match the person's goals and preferences. That way the plan remains collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also mean people try different approaches without committing to long-term treatment, and sessions can focus on practical strategies to improve rest, routine and daily coping.
