Julie EdmensonBACP

Julie Edmenson is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and parenting challenges. She works with individuals who want clearer self esteem, better coping during life changes, or practical ways to feel more confident. Julie writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps less daunting for anyone looking for support.

Julie uses a person-centred approach that keeps the conversation focused on each client's needs. She listens for personal values and helps people notice patterns that influence relationships and daily life. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the client.

Her background includes eleven years working with a broad range of concerns from loss and bereavement to communication and caregiver stress. That experience informs how she shapes conversations and suggests small, practical steps between sessions. Julie emphasises respect, sensitivity and a non-judgemental stance in everyday language.

Therapeutic techniques she uses draw on attachment ideas, narrative work and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to help people make sense of their personal stories and to establish steadier ways of coping with emotions. Julie adapts methods according to what a person prefers and finds helpful.

The process starts by understanding where someone is now and what they want to change. From there she and the client shape a simple plan for therapy and check progress as they go. People are encouraged to bring their own goals and to move at a pace that feels right for them.

How Julie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Julie uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they might react strongly in close relationships and offers ways to experiment with different responses.

She also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions follow the person's priorities and pace. That style suits people who want a listening, non-judgemental space to talk things through and decide goals together.

Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these approaches to help with stress and anxiety. Simple breathing and grounding exercises are introduced and practised to reduce overwhelm between conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Julie will discuss different methods and help decide which fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. She treats this as a shared process and checks in regularly to adapt the plan.
