About me

Hello ,

My name is Julie Thompson , I run a therapeutic service called Holistic Health by Julie Thompson . I have been working therapeutically for 12 years, when I became  fortunate enough to work with society’s most vulnerable and disadvantaged children as a therapeutic foster carer.  

Having witnessed the impact therapies and counselling  can make in changing someone’s life I decided to train also. I am now a fully qualified and experienced Psychotherapeutic Counsellor trauma informed and attachment based . I’m also a Hypnotherapist, EMDR practitioner ( Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprogramming which helps with the effects of trauma )  life coach and a Reiki Master.
I work hard to continue my professional development to bring clients the best possible experience.

I believe working with the mind and body can help clients to move forward and alleviate and process trauma, it can help clients  move forward and become a less stressed,  truer authentic version of themselves.  

I offer a warm, safe and welcoming environment where we can discuss the goals of therapy. I love to use the person-centered model which is client led. However, I will introduce elements of other humanistic and psychodynamic models, if you the client would agree and If I feel  you as the client would benefit from this approach. 

I believe using the above therapies individually or combined can facilitate in assisting clients to overcome and manage life’s difficulties, thus enabling them to heal, grow and reach their personal goals and full potential.
I offer face to face sessions  or online sessions through zoom .

I have previously worked part time for a company which provides specialised therapy and counselling to children and families brought together by adoption . My role was too support the adults so they could better support their children . I have gone on to support children and adults in their therapeutic processes. 

I have my own private office at home in Great Ayton  which is warm, comfortable and a safe place for you to explore your feelings. 
I also have access to a Stockton office where I rent a  therapeutic room. 

I have regular supervision with a world class lady to ensure I am working to a high standard and to receive personal support should I need it, because I’m human too.

I am an accredited member of the NCS I have liability insurance and a rolling DBS. I work within today’s Covid guidelines ensuring the safest environment I can for clients and myself.

I work through the week until late evening and appointments are available occasionally  on a weekend.


Many thanks for reading.

Warmest

Julie.

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration.
