Julie Iveson, BACP

Julie Iveson is a registered psychotherapeutic counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). With five years of clinical experience, she trained at the accredited Northern Guild Psychotherapy in the North East of England and brings that foundation to her therapeutic work.

She has worked with a broad range of concerns including stress, depression, anxiety, bereavement, early trauma, abuse and relationship difficulties. Julie’s specialist focus is supporting people with ADHD and Autistic Spectrum Disorder, though she also works effectively with neurotypical clients. Additional areas of practice include parenting, career issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Julie practices in a relational way with Transactional Analysis as an underlying model. This means she pays attention to what happens between client and therapist as a way of exploring patterns in the client’s wider relationships. Transactional Analysis offers a framework for understanding behaviour and encourages personal responsibility and clearer choices.

Her work is professionally supervised in line with BACP guidelines and she adheres to the BACP Code of Ethics. Julie aims to provide a relaxed, safe and respectful space where people can make sense of their experience and work toward the changes they want to see.

How Julie's Approaches Translate to Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds and attachment patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people understand their needs for closeness and safety, and can be useful for work on relationship distress, separation, or attachment challenges.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance and the client’s own capacity for growth. In this approach the therapist offers a non-judgemental presence that helps clients explore feelings, clarify goals and build self-understanding, which is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT is often used when anxiety, stress or depression are prominent and when clients want structured steps to manage symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Julie will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape a personalised plan that can adapt over time.

Online therapy with Julie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or work and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
