About Julie
Julie Iveson offers calm, steady support for people facing difficult life stages. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Julie keeps language simple and focuses on small, manageable steps.
She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. Julie has five years' experience as a psychotherapeutic counsellor and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her training was completed at the Northern Guild Psychotherapy in the North East of England.
How Julie works
She follows the BACP Code of Ethics and takes part in regular professional supervision. Her main interests include anxiety, stress and depression. She also helps people dealing with grief, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and major life changes.
Julie has a focus on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism and Asperger Syndrome, while also working with people who do not identify as neurodivergent. Julie works in a relational way and uses Transactional Analysis as a foundation. That means she pays attention to what happens between counsellor and client and uses those moments to understand other relationships in a person's life.
She aims to help people recognise patterns and choose different responses. In sessions Julie blends relational work with practical therapeutic tools. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally focused approaches where they fit.
The aim is to help people feel clearer about their goals and take steps towards change. People can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space where their experience is heard. Julie offers a paced approach that suits each person, whether the focus is on managing day-to-day stress or navigating longer term change.

Online support options
How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Julie uses attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening to help people feel understood and seen. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people identify safer ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping a person find their own answers rather than being told what to do.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments. CBT-style techniques can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because they give clear steps to test and change patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss options with each person and together they will choose methods that match needs, goals and preferences. The therapist adapts the mix over time based on what is helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to attend from work, home or while travelling and give flexible ways to continue therapy when schedules change.
