About me
My name is Julie Vause (she/her) and I am a qualified Psychodynamic Therapist and a member of COSCA (Counselling and Psychotherapy in Scotland) and a registered member of BACP. I am based in Grangemouth.
I offer individual face to face counselling or online within the UK to adults and young people over 16yrs.
Are you someone who has experienced difficulties in your life that has left you feeling anxious, depressed, or alone and coping with day-to-day activities has become a chore? I offer a safe, confidential space to come alongside you as we work together to help you gain insight and self-awareness. A place where you are valued, accepted, and heard. Time to look at your relationship with yourself and others.
I have worked for many years within education, supporting families and children with complex social, emotional, and behavioural needs. I have provided emotional and psychological support for young people and adults in schools, the community and within a prison who have experienced sexual abuse, domestic violence, family, or child abuse and families who have been affected by alcohol and substance misuse. I have worked with the LGBTQ+ and transgender community and value diversity. I lived and worked within the Asian community where I supported families who were asylum seekers or refugees.
I work with a range of challenges including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, anger, loss, bereavement, trauma, domestic abuse, childhood sexual abuse, sexual abuse within relationships, addiction, health, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, shame, dissociation, pregnancy loss, menopause, ageing and relationships.
I work within the Psychodynamic method, an approach which uses the relationship we build to safely help you understand your emotions and behaviours, bringing to light unconscious patterns of behaviour that are not working for you. This theory originates from Sigmund Freud, focusing on the unconscious mind as the source of psychological distress.

Member organisations
COSCA is the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland, and seeks to advance all forms of counselling and psychotherapy and the use of counselling skills by promoting best practice and through the delivery of a range of sustainable services. COSCA Counsellor Accreditation is a pathway to entry onto the UKRC.
It is a requirement of all individual and organisational members of COSCA to abide by its Statement of Ethics and Code of Practice and be accountable to the Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
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. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
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. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
