Julie Iveson, BACP

Julie Iveson is a professionally qualified and experienced registered psychotherapeutic counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Trained at the accredited Northern Guild Psychotherapy in the North East of England, she combines high-level clinical training with a practical, relational approach to support people through difficult life moments.

She has experience helping with stress, depression, anxiety, bereavement, early trauma, abuse and relationship problems. Julie has a particular specialism in working with people who have ADHD and those on the autistic spectrum, while also supporting neurotypical clients. She also addresses issues such as parenting, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes.

Julie works relationally, using Transactional Analysis as a foundational model. This means she pays attention to what happens between therapist and client in the therapy space and uses those interactions as a way to explore patterns in the client�s other relationships. Transactional Analysis offers tools to understand behaviour and to empower people to take responsibility for change.

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

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Julie commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and helps people develop more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the person�s own experience, offering empathy, acceptance and nonjudgemental listening to help clients explore their feelings and goals. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to change them - it can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Julie works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences and to agree on methods that fit their situation. Over time the approach can be adapted as new insights and priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter conversations are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still working with registered professionals and therapists to address relationships, grief, anxiety, ADHD-related concerns and other challenges.
