Julia Eduardo

Julia Eduardo is a counsellor with ten years' experience offering calm, practical support for people facing loss, major life changes, addictions and ongoing anxiety. She aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk about what matters most and work out next steps at a pace that suits them.

Julia trained in Integrative counselling after completing a Diploma in counselling skills. She draws on that integrative background to match her approach to each person's needs. Her earlier career in the health sector and years of volunteer work across multiple UK cities inform how she supports people in practical ways.

Much of Julia's experience has been with people coping with drug and alcohol issues, and with those facing depression, anxiety, PTSD and relationship difficulties. She also works with concerns like grief, end-of-life conversations, trauma, anger and self-esteem. Her practice includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues, and she supports people living with long-term conditions such as cancer and HIV/AIDS.

As a neurodivergent practitioner, Julia tailors sessions for people who benefit from focused, detail-oriented work. She uses a mix of client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques and other approaches to suit each situation rather than one fixed method.

People who value clear, down-to-earth conversations will find her style direct but warm. Julia encourages choice in how much to talk, and works collaboratively when people want to explore, resolve or move on from difficult chapters in their lives.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It gives space for people to tell their story while the counsellor reflects back what matters, which can help when discussing grief, life transitions or sensitive topics.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks worries and patterns into small parts. It uses straightforward exercises and practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and some forms of addiction.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving day-to-day coping. People learn techniques for grounding, managing distress and improving relationships, which often helps when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggest a combination of methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.

If you prefer online sessions, check the session options before booking to confirm what formats are available. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets the therapist use worksheets, guided exercises and screen-sharing to support CBT or DBT work without changing the therapy itself.
