About Julie

Julie Shankly is a United Kingdom based therapist with 21 years of professional experience and accreditation from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and intimacy related concerns, applying a style of work grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Julie customises conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person's circumstances and goals, matching the pace and focus to what will be most helpful. She recognises that taking the first step toward therapy can take courage and acknowledges clients for starting the process. Her approach combines practical support and thoughtful reflection to help clients explore challenges and develop ways forward that suit their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports growth. This approach is useful for people seeking understanding, emotional processing, and personal insight around relationship or life challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them; it is commonly used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and coping with difficult situations. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to explore patterns of thought and behaviour, which some people find helpful for issues such as anxiety, habit change, or managing stress.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best given their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.



Online therapy with licensed professionals and therapists offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments, and helps people access support even when in different locations.
