About Julie
Julie Iveson is a counsellor who helps people facing parenting strains, anxiety, stress and life changes. She offers calm, practical support for relationship difficulties, grief and low mood. Her direct way of working suits people who want clear thinking and steady guidance.
Julie trained at the Northern Guild Psychotherapy in the North East of England and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years' experience supporting people with ADHD and autistic spectrum concerns, as well as those who do not identify as neurodivergent.
Background and approach
She practises in a relational manner, paying attention to what happens between counsellor and client to understand wider patterns in relationships. Transactional Analysis is a key part of her approach, used to map behaviour and help people take more control over their choices. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change.
Julie aims to create a relaxed and respectful space where difficult topics such as trauma, bereavement, infidelity or workplace stress can be talked through. She will listen and help you find manageable next steps. Her work is carried out in line with BACP guidance and she receives professional supervision.
Julie works in the United Kingdom and delivers sessions in English using online formats and telephone contact.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Julie often uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns; this can help when parenting feels emotionally charged or when people struggle with closeness. Client-Centred Therapy is also part of her practice and focuses on listening without judgement so people can make sense of their own values and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try simple experiments that can reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and chat or text is useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit regular sessions around family life, work and other commitments.
