Julie Iveson, BACP

Julie Iveson helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by relationship strain, grief, anxiety or changes at work and home. She uses plain, steady conversation to help clients make sense of their situation and plan small steps forward. Julie is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years of counselling experience. Julie trained at the Northern Guild Psychotherapy in the north east of England. That training included work on trauma, bereavement, abuse and attachment difficulties. Julie often supports people with ADHD and autistic spectrum needs, while also working with neurotypical clients. She listens for how past patterns affect current relationships and daily life. Sessions are focused on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Her approach is relational and draws on Transactional Analysis alongside other therapeutic methods. That means she pays attention to interactions in the counselling room as a way of understanding wider relationship patterns. The aim is to increase awareness and give practical tools to manage feelings and reactions. Julie provides a respectful space where people can talk about loss, stress, parenting pressures, career doubts and self-esteem concerns. She follows BACP guidance and meets regular professional supervision. Sessions can be conducted by phone, video, live chat or text, depending on what the client prefers.

Approach-driven online counselling that fits your life

Julie combines Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to help people understand patterns in relationships and feel heard. Attachment work looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and helps when relationships or parenting feel difficult. Client-Centred therapy focuses on the client's experience and uses listening and reflection to help people find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. Julie will discuss your needs and try different ways of working until you both find what helps. She aims to tailor sessions so they match your goals, preferences and day-to-day routines rather than imposing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows fuller conversation when face-to-face style contact matters, phone can be better when bandwidth is limited, quick live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins and text offers flexible, on-the-go reflection. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on progress and practical next steps.
