About Julia

Julia Eduardo is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of practice. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and relationship concerns, and with those dealing with grief, codependency and life changes. Julia speaks English and Lingala and draws on her experience across health and community settings.

She began with a diploma in counselling skills and completed a degree in Integrative Counselling. That background sits alongside more than 15 years of work in the health sector and volunteer roles around London, Essex, Birmingham, Manchester and Cambridge. These roles shaped her practical approach to drug and alcohol use and to supporting people affected by trauma and abuse.

Julia uses a blend of methods rather than one fixed model. She often draws on client-centred work to follow what a person brings, and cognitive behavioural ideas to address difficult thoughts and patterns. She also uses DBT and emotionally focused ideas when emotional regulation or relationship work is needed.

When working with neurodivergent clients she adjusts how sessions run, offering more focussed, detail-oriented work when that helps. She says talking is important but also recognises that expression can happen in different ways and at different paces.

People meet her to talk through addiction, stress or the strain of relationships where they feel they are always putting others first. She supports clients who want to set boundaries, understand attachment or process loss. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and booking the first session.

How sessions work

How her therapy approaches work online

Client-centred work focuses on listening and following what the person brings. The therapist keeps the conversation guided by the client’s concerns and priorities, which helps when someone needs space to talk about people-pleasing or boundary issues.

Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical ways to test unhelpful beliefs and try small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or change patterns that feed codependent behaviours.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) emphasises emotional regulation and coping skills. It can be useful when strong emotions, anger or frantic caregiving get in the way of clear thinking and day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods together to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when days are busy, and reduce travel time so sessions are more practical to keep.
