About Edgars

Edgars Semenovs offers calm, steady support for people facing stressful life moments. He meets clients where they are and encourages small, practical steps. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing and what can change now.

Edgars works in English, Latvian and Russian and is based in the United Kingdom. He uses a mix of person-centred listening and evidence-informed tools to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief and addiction issues. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try out different behaviours.

Background and approach

Attachment-based ideas help address patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect current feelings. Edgars draws on six years of counselling experience that includes work in mental health recovery services and NHS staff counselling. He also has experience supporting people who have faced trauma and addictions, and has worked with services specialising in alcohol, drug and pornography problems.

His own recovery journey has shaped his approach and his practice of yoga, meditation and Qigong informs how he works with emotion regulation. He aims to create the conditions people need to notice what is happening inside and respond with more self-compassion. Sessions can include practical problem solving, compassionate reflection and short mindfulness practices.

Edgars encourages collaboration, helping people set realistic goals and try things between sessions. He accepts international clients and adapts his methods to suit each person’s needs and culture.

Ways of working Edgars names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How his approach adapts to online therapy

Edgars works with attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people struggle with closeness, trust or repeating the same relationship mistakes. He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes, which is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edgars discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods together. He treats therapy as a collaborative process and will suggest approaches that suit the issues and the way each person prefers to work.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make sessions flexible. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments.
