About Edward

Background and approach

Sessions are led by the client’s priorities while he may offer practical suggestions or gentle challenges when useful. He combines humanistic and existential thinking with practical approaches. That means he helps people reflect on values, make clearer choices, and build small steps that change day-to-day life.

Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas often appear in sessions to help people manage thoughts and plan next steps. Edward has worked in organisations, the third sector and independent practice since qualifying in 2018. He also tutors and trains student counsellors and coordinates counselling services for a local mental health charity.

This mix of practice and teaching keeps his work grounded and current. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Edward speaks English and is able to work with international clients.

Fees vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model, with scheduling arranged after a short matching questionnaire.

Ways of working Edward 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 Edward’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions that align with what matters to the individual. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck by teaching ways to notice thoughts without letting them dictate behaviour.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a non-judgemental, listening approach where the client leads the conversation. This style helps people who need space to make sense of their feelings and build self-trust, including those dealing with identity or relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edward will discuss options and decide together with each person which methods fit their goals and preferences. Therapy is collaborative and may combine elements from different approaches to suit changing needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations when seeing facial expression matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection or when someone prefers typing over speaking. These options let people access counselling from different locations and fit sessions around busy lives.
