Julia Eduardo , BACP

Julia Eduardo is an integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She began her training with a Diploma in counselling skills and went on to complete a degree in Integrative Counselling, drawing on a breadth of methods to support individuals with complex needs. Her listed credential is BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Her clinical background includes extensive work in drug and alcohol addiction, supporting both children and adults, and more recently practice within the criminal justice system. She offers person-centred and solution-focused work to people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD and relationship difficulties. As a neurodivergent practitioner, she values adaptable, detail-oriented approaches and is comfortable tailoring sessions to clients who need focused or structured support.

Prior to counselling, Julia spent over 15 years in the health sector, and she maintains links with health-based services through ongoing volunteer and professional activity across London, Essex, Birmingham, Manchester and Cambridge. Her integrative training enables her to combine techniques and offer holistic support that reflects each person’s history and goals. She emphasizes choice in communication and expression, seeking to create opportunities for exploration, healing and life changes when clients are ready.

Integrative approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach supports people who need a safe space to explore feelings, identity, relationships and life transitions, and it helps therapists respond to each person’s priorities and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour that contribute to distress and developing practical strategies for change. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and compulsive behaviours and can fit well with structured online sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. It is helpful when strong emotions, impulsive behaviour or relationship difficulties are a central concern and can be adapted into remote formats with skill coaching and practical exercises.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Julia works collaboratively with clients to identify what will best meet their needs, goals and preferences. Therapists and clients decide together whether to prioritise supportive listening, skills work, or a combination of methods.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living far from services. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to engage in therapy from environments that feel most comfortable for the client.
