Julie Iveson , BACP

Julie Iveson is a professionally qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She completed advanced training at the accredited Northern Guild Psychotherapy in the North East of England, which shaped her clinical knowledge and therapeutic skills.

Over five years of practice Julie has worked with a broad range of difficulties including stress, depression, anxiety, bereavement, early trauma, abuse, and relationship problems. She has a particular specialism in supporting people with ADHD and Autistic Spectrum Disorder, while also working with neurotypical clients. Her additional focus areas include parenting, self-esteem, career concerns, trauma and abuse, and life changes associated with illness and end-of-life care.

Julie works in a relational way, drawing on Transactional Analysis as a foundational model. In this approach the therapeutic relationship itself becomes a tool to understand patterns of interaction and to explore how those patterns affect clients' wider relationships. Her practice is professionally supervised in line with BACP guidelines and she adheres to the BACP Code of Ethics. Julie aims to offer a calm, respectful, and accepting space to help clients make sense of their experiences and to consider the changes they want to make.

Attachment, Client-Centered Work, and CBT Online

Julie integrates a small number of evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings of safety and connection; it can be helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and managing grief or loss. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a warm, non-directive stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-exploration; this approach suits people seeking a respectful, accepting space to work through life changes or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie collaborates with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses so it remains responsive and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, allowing flexibility around work, family, and mobility needs. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists without the need to travel, helping clients maintain continuity of care during busy or changing periods of life.
