Julia Eduardo, BACP

Julia Eduardo welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to begin. She uses simple, direct conversation to help people clarify what they want to change and find manageable steps forward. Julia is a BACP counsellor with ten years of experience and she speaks English and Lingala.

Julia trained in integrative counselling after completing a diploma in counselling skills. She has a long background in the health sector and many years working with drug and alcohol addiction. That work expanded into roles across London, Essex, Birmingham, Manchester and Cambridge and into criminal justice settings.

In sessions Julia draws on a mix of ways of working so she can adapt to what each person needs. She pays attention to thought patterns and everyday habits and uses clear, practical techniques alongside deeper conversations about feelings and meaning. She aims to make talking feel straightforward rather than pressured.

Julia also notices how neurodivergence affects how people think and focus, and she adjusts her approach when extra structure or attention to detail helps. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and relationship and intimacy-related issues.

People who come for help may expect calm practical planning, a focus on small habit changes, and space to talk about difficult emotions. To begin, she asks people to say what matters most and then she shapes tasks and conversations around those goals.

How Julia’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It emphasises listening, acceptance and helping people find their own answers, which can suit issues like low self-esteem, grief and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and habits affect feelings and behaviour and uses practical tasks to change unhelpful patterns, so it often helps with anxiety, depression and ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, combines acceptance with skill-building in emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness and can be useful for strong emotions, impulsivity and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. Sessions can change over time as different issues come up, and Julia adapts her mix of approaches to match what is helpful in practice.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions fit around work, family or health commitments. Many people find these practical benefits help them attend more consistently and put new habits into daily life.
