Julia Eduardo, BACP

Julia Eduardo is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing health-related life changes and day-to-day stress. She speaks English and Lingala and aims to create a calm space where people can talk about anxiety, grief, addiction, or the strain of coping with major life events. Julia’s manner is straightforward and attentive, geared towards practical steps and clearer thinking.

She trained through a Diploma in counselling skills and went on to complete a degree in Integrative counselling. That integrative background means she draws on a range of approaches to match each person’s needs. Julia has around 10 years of experience and has worked across community and health settings in several UK cities.

Much of her early work was in drug and alcohol addiction services, and she has also spent time in the criminal justice sector. She combines skills from different approaches to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma reactions, relationship strain and other concerns listed on this profile. Her past health-sector career of more than 15 years also informs how she supports people through illness and end-of-life matters.

Julia describes herself as neurodivergent and says that experience shapes the way she tailors sessions. She pays attention to detail and can adapt pace and focus to match how a person prefers to work. Practical tools, reflective conversation and goal-focused steps are all part of her practice.

If someone wants to start, Julia asks them to use the site's Start Therapy route and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How Julia adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to a person’s experience. The counsellor follows the client's lead, reflects back what they hear and helps the person make choices about what to tackle. This approach is useful for people who want empathetic listening and help to clarify their own goals.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and small behavioural steps to reduce anxiety or low mood and to build coping skills. CBT is often chosen by people who want structured tools to manage stress and worry.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving how someone copes during crisis moments. It teaches breathing and grounding techniques, emotion regulation strategies and ways to improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person's needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as someone progresses.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time and allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and session length so therapy fits everyday life without promising a specific outcome.
