Julie Edmenson, BACP

Julie Edmenson offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk through what matters most. Julie focuses on everyday concerns like parenting strain, low self-esteem, motivation and coping when routines shift.

Her approach is collaborative and tailored. Conversations are shaped around each person’s priorities and pace. She listens for patterns in relationships and emotions and helps people understand how past events link to present difficulties.

Julie draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns and how they affect trust and connection. She also uses client-centred and narrative ways of working that let people tell their story and make sense of it in a new way. Mindfulness techniques are offered when helpful to manage stress and stay grounded.

With 11 years of experience in the United Kingdom, she has supported people through loss, caregiving stress, separation and life-stage shifts. She also addresses issues such as control problems, codependency, guilt and forgiveness in straightforward terms.

Sessions are built to fit what each person needs, not a fixed formula. Julie aims to empower people to try different ways of coping, set small goals and notice change over time. She explains things plainly and works at a steady, respectful pace.

People who prefer a compassionate, practical counsellor who listens and adapts the work will find a clear starting point with Julie. Her focus is on helping people move toward clearer choices and daily routines that feel more manageable.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice how they seek closeness or pull away and practise new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, offering acceptance and reflection so someone can make their own choices; this approach is useful for anxiety, self-esteem and decision-making. Narrative Therapy invites people to tell the story of their life and then reframe parts that feel stuck or limiting, which can help with grief, identity and coping with major changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try approaches and adjust them over time so the way of working fits the person’s life and aims.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, giving practical options for different days and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins, ongoing reflection or days when typing feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving and travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping.
