About Julia
Julia Eduardo is a counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She works in a straightforward way and aims to make sessions feel usable and down to earth. Julia speaks English and Lingala and is based in the United Kingdom.
Julia trained through a diploma in counselling skills and went on to complete a degree in integrative counselling. That background means she draws on different approaches to match what a person needs.
Background and approach
She has a long history of work with drug and alcohol addiction and continued practice in community and criminal justice settings. She uses person-centred principles to create a calm space for people to talk about loss, grief, trauma, depression and relationship difficulties. Practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy help with managing anxious thoughts and day-to-day coping.
Dialectical behaviour therapy skills are used when someone needs help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Julia also brings experience with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and intimacy-related concerns. She has supported people facing cancer, hospice and end-of-life matters, immigration challenges, and HIV or AIDS related issues.
This wide experience informs a flexible approach to each person’s situation. As a neurodivergent clinician, Julia pays attention to detail and adapts how she works to suit different ways of thinking and communicating. She aims to help people decide on next steps, whether that is exploring feelings, building coping strategies, or bringing a chapter to a close.
Her practice combines practical tools and a person-focused stance so people can find clearer ways to cope and move forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting space where the person is listened to and their perspective matters; it helps with issues like anxiety, grief and relationship concerns by making space to talk and be heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce anxious thinking and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance in day-to-day life.The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which approach or combination suits a person's goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as work progresses so techniques can be adjusted to what helps most. Clients are supported to try methods and feed back about what fits their needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face experience, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments while still using the same therapeutic tools discussed above.
