Julie Iveson , BACP

Julie Iveson is a professionally qualified Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), reflecting her commitment to recognised professional standards. She trained at Northern Guild Psychotherapy in the North East of England, where she completed advanced study in psychotherapeutic practice.

Julie has worked with a broad range of concerns including stress, depression, anxiety, bereavement, early trauma, abuse, and relationship difficulties. She specialises in supporting people with ADHD and Autistic Spectrum Disorder while also working with neurotypical clients, tailoring her approach to each individual’s needs. Her practice is overseen by professional supervision in line with BACP guidance and she follows the BACP Code of Ethics in her work.

Clinically, Julie adopts a relational way of working with Transactional Analysis as an underlying framework. This relational focus means she pays attention to what occurs between therapist and client during sessions and uses those interactions to explore the patterns that shape a person’s relationships outside therapy. Transactional Analysis provides a practical means of understanding behaviour and supporting people to take greater responsibility for the changes they want to make.

Julie offers a calm, respectful, and supportive space for people to explore personal issues, understand what is happening for them, and consider the steps they want to take to move forward.

Working with Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds with caregivers shape current relationship patterns. It helps people understand emotional needs, improve closeness, and address difficulties that stem from insecure attachment styles, such as mistrust or fear of abandonment.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the process. The therapist offers empathetic understanding and nonjudgmental support to help clients explore feelings, build self-awareness, and find their own solutions to issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Through practical techniques it helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative ways of responding to anxiety, depression, stress, and other common difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent support around work, family, or mobility constraints. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver focused, effective care while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
