Julia Eduardo , BACP

Julia Eduardo is an integrative counsellor with ten years of clinical experience and a BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional organisation for counsellors and therapists. She began her training with a Diploma in counselling skills and continued to complete a degree in Integrative Counselling, training that enables her to draw on multiple therapeutic perspectives to meet each client's needs.

Her early work focused on drug and alcohol addiction, supporting both children and adults, and this area remains a significant part of her practice. Over time she has extended her work into the criminal justice system, providing person-centred and solution-focused therapy for people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD and relationship difficulties. Prior to becoming a counsellor, Julia spent more than 15 years working in the health sector, experience she still draws on when appropriate.

As a neurodivergent practitioner, she values flexible, detail-oriented approaches and adapts interventions to suit clients who benefit from clear structure or focused work. Volunteer roles across London, Essex, Birmingham, Manchester and Cambridge have broadened her experience and informed a holistic way of supporting people. She believes speaking and other forms of expression should be a choice, and aims to offer a space where clients can explore, seek or bring chapters of their lives to a close.

Integrative Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist supports growth through empathy and validation. This approach helps people working through relationship issues, grief, self-esteem concerns and life changes by honoring their pace and perspective.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and some trauma-related responses and gives clear strategies clients can apply between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - emphasises emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be especially useful for people facing intense emotions, addiction-related difficulties or repeated relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Julia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques from different models to create a tailored plan rather than relying on a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging allow people to access licensed professionals and therapists from wherever they are. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
