Julie Edmenson, BACP

Julie Edmenson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 11 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting struggles, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Julie also addresses related concerns such as codependency, attachment issues, guilt and shame, and caregiver stress.

Julie uses straightforward conversation to help clients understand what patterns are keeping them stuck. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small practical steps they can try between meetings. She draws on client-centred ways of working, paying attention to how relationships and early experiences shape current choices.

Her practice includes approaches from attachment-based work, narrative therapy and mindfulness. That means she may look at how past relationships influence present behaviour, invite people to tell and reframe their life stories, and introduce simple mindfulness exercises to reduce rumination. Julie explains ideas plainly and checks that each step fits the client's day-to-day life.

Julie often helps people who find themselves putting others first at their own expense. That includes difficulties saying no, people-pleasing, or feeling defined by someone else's moods or needs. Conversations explore boundary setting, clearer communication, and ways to rebuild a stronger sense of self.

Her style is direct and respectful. New clients are invited to describe their immediate concerns and practical goals. From there Julie and the client work out what to focus on in sessions and what realistic steps to try between meetings.
