Julia Eduardo

Julia Eduardo offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or major life changes. She works with issues such as grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and identity matters. Sessions are offered in English and Lingala. Julia holds BACP accreditation and has a decade of counselling experience in the UK.

She trained first in counselling skills and then completed a degree in Integrative Counselling. That mix of training means she adapts her approach to each person rather than using one fixed method. Julia draws on a person-centred foundation while adding specific practical tools when they help.

Much of her work began in addiction services, so she is familiar with drug and alcohol problems and the ripple effects those can have on daily life. She has also worked across criminal justice settings and with clients facing trauma, OCD and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Her background prior to counselling was in the health sector for over 15 years.

Julia describes herself as neurodivergent and pays attention to sensory needs, detail and tailored pacing during sessions. That means practical adjustments and a flexible style when someone needs them. Volunteer roles across several UK cities have also shaped the way she supports people from different backgrounds.

Her aim is to offer a straightforward space to talk when someone wants to, and different ways to work when talking alone is not enough. Prospective clients should complete the site questionnaire to match and arrange a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation. This helps when someone needs to process difficult feelings or explore identity and relationship questions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) gives practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression and addiction-related urges. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation, useful for people who feel overwhelmed by strong reactions.

Choosing the right way to work is a joint effort. The therapist will talk through goals, try different techniques and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative approach means methods can shift over time as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a break, sessions that avoid travel time, or quieter conversations without needing to leave home. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and behavioural tasks to work well in remote sessions, helping therapy feel practical and manageable.
