Julie Burg

I work online only at present. 

I am a warm, experienced and BACP registered psychotherapist based in North London. At the moment, I work online only.

My therapeutic style is down to earth, authentic and grounded in an understanding of the importance of relationships. I help my clients explore their stories with the aim of freeing them from old habits and fears, and facilitate meaningful transformation. 

I welcome people from all backgrounds and ethnicities, sexual orientations and genders, ages, religions and classes. I strive to be sensitive to all the issues - both individual and cultural - that people from various backgrounds encounter in this world. I offer therapy in English and German.

On deciding to work together, we will agree on a weekly slot. Sessions last for 50 minutes and are of course strictly confidential. I offer short-term (5-10 sessions) as well as long-term (open-ended with regular reviews) therapy.

As my client, you are protected by both the Data Protection Act and the Ethical Guidelines of the BACP, the regulatory body for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Our first session is an opportunity for me to assess your difficulties, and to find out what changes you are looking to make.

As we go through the lifespan, we are often faced with various challenges such as understanding our past experiences, processing our present situations, planning for the future - or all of the above!

For you, the first session is a chance to see how therapy can support this process. You might like to prepare a list of questions: or indeed, just come as you are! Both are equally welcome. By the end of our time together, you should be in a position to decide if you would like to work with me. 

I work online only. Please contact me for current availability/slots.

Integrative Psychotherapist & Clinical Supervisor | DBT-Informed Practice

I offer supervision to qualified therapists and trainees looking for a supportive and thoughtful space to reflect on their work.

My background is in integrative psychotherapy, with extensive experience working with and teaching Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills. My supervision brings these strands together: the depth and curiosity of relational therapy alongside the structure and practical tools DBT can offer.

I see supervision as a collaborative process. There is space to think about what is happening between you and your client, explore difficult or stuck dynamics, develop formulations and consider practical ways forward. I’m also interested in how the work affects you as a therapist, and in helping you develop a way of practising that feels effective and sustainable.

DBT-informed supervision

For therapists who use DBT skills, or would like to bring more of them into their work, I can offer support with:

Behavioural Chain Analysis – making sense of difficult or recurring patterns of behaviour and identifying possible points for change.

DBT skills – finding practical ways of bringing mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills into individual therapy.

Dialectical thinking – helping clients (and sometimes ourselves as therapists) move away from all-or-nothing positions and find a balance between acceptance and change.

I don’t supervise full comprehensive DBT programmes, which have their own requirements around consultation teams, crisis support and programme structure. My focus is helping therapists use DBT-informed approaches thoughtfully within their individual practice.

My supervision is most suited to therapists working in outpatient or private-practice settings. Where clients present with significant or immediate risk, responsibility for crisis management remains with the treating practitioner and appropriate clinical or crisis services.

About me

I am an experienced integrative psychotherapist trained to Advanced Diploma level at The Minster Centre and holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling from Middlesex University. I is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and works within both BACP and UKCP ethical frameworks.

I am also trained in Good Supervision Practice by the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT) and is a member of APT. APT’s supervision training emphasises the importance of clear structure, well-defined supervision contracts, reflective clinical thinking, and outcome-oriented practice that supports both therapist development and effective client care. Their model highlights supervision that is purposeful, reliable, and grounded in collaborative learning and professional accountability.

My supervisory approach is relational, grounded, and collaborative, supporting therapists to deepen clinical understanding, reflect on client process, and develop confidence in their therapeutic identity. My practice welcomes practitioners from diverse backgrounds, cultures, genders, sexualities, and modalities.

I'm happy to have an initial phone call to get a sense of each other, and discuss what you are looking for. Please email me beforehand to arrange a time.
