Julie Edmenson , BACP

Julie Edmenson is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and parenting concerns. She works with individuals who want clearer self-esteem, better coping after life changes, or practical support when feeling overwhelmed. Julie is identified with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and draws on eleven years of practice experience.

She uses a straightforward, respectful style in sessions. Conversations are paced to match each person's needs and goals. Julie aims to make space for honesty, curiosity and steady progress rather than rushing to quick fixes.

Her approach blends ways of working that look at relationships and life stories. Attachment-based ideas help explore how past relationships affect current feelings and reactions. Narrative techniques help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their choices.

Mindfulness is used to build moment-to-moment awareness and calmer responses to stress. Client-centred principles keep the person's priorities in focus, so goals come from what matters to them. Existential ideas are brought in when people want to tackle meaning, loss or life transitions.

Julie tailors sessions around what each person needs at that time. She offers practical suggestions and reflections alongside listening and emotional support. People who are facing difficult endings, caregiving strain, control or attachment struggles often find this combination useful.

If someone prefers to work online, Julie provides a range of session formats to fit different lives and schedules. She aims to help people take manageable steps toward greater resilience and clarity.

How Julie's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current emotions and reactions. Online sessions use conversation to identify repeating patterns and to practice new ways of relating and responding in daily life. Client-centred therapy places the person's priorities at the centre of each session, with the counsellor following the person's pace and concerns and offering reflective support that helps people clarify their goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Julie will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adjust methods over time. The process is collaborative so decisions about focus and exercises come from the client's needs, goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which provide practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions are helpful when a quieter connection or lower bandwidth is needed, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and travel commitments while keeping therapy consistent and workable.
