About Julie
Julie Edmenson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 11 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, parenting pressures, low self-esteem or major life changes. Her style is warm and practical and she aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
Julie adapts the conversation to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns in stories and relationships, then helps people try different ways of understanding difficult feelings. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life and parenting routines. Her work draws on Narrative Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches alongside client-centred listening and mindfulness techniques.
That mix helps people reframe painful experiences, understand relationship patterns and build steadier emotional responses. Julie also uses existential ideas to help people consider meaning during big life transitions. She has supported people through loss, ageing and end-of-life concerns, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, and issues such as codependency, hoarding and impulsivity.
Julie works in English and is based in the United Kingdom while offering sessions to international clients. Julie encourages straightforward goals and regular check-ins so progress can be seen. She asks straightforward questions about what is working and what needs to change, and she adjusts the plan as needed.
The aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Julie directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approaches online that help rewrite difficult stories
Julie commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from painful events and reframe personal stories. Narrative work is useful for grief, low self-esteem and parenting stress because it highlights the different roles a person plays in their life and offers alternative ways to see those roles.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape emotional reactions and coping styles. This can help with anxiety, communication problems and patterns that lead to codependency or avoidant behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Julie works collaboratively to decide which combination of narrative, attachment and client-centred ideas fits a person’s goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adapts the plan as needs change so the work remains relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you use visual cues for conversation, phone sessions can fit into a shorter break, live chat offers quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around family life, work and travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
