More about Edna

  • 18 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, with over 18 years’ experience. I am an accredited member with UKCP and a registered member with BACP.

My work focuses on short or long term psychotherapy, evidence-based short-term individual counselling, trauma counselling, and assessments of clients’ psychological wellbeing. I use an experiential approach with my clients drawing on a variety of treatment modalities to inform my practice like; Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy , Psychodynamic , Motivational Interviewing, Attachment theory and Solution Focused Therapy to help resolve personal, social and mental problems.

I also draw on a holistic transpersonal approach to listen to clients on a deeper level and allow the fabric of the whole to manifest, in turn enabling the clients to be in a better relationship with themselves. Clients have been able to make more informed life choices, enabling them to cope better with various life challenges.

I work intuitively in a service oriented and centered way on all life issues. I have considerable experience working with the following issues:

• Addiction

• Bereavement

• Stress

• Panic attacks

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Trauma, Sexual Assaults, Childhood Abuse

• Difficulties in relationships

• Sexuality and identity issues

• Loss of purpose/ Finding meaning in life

• Concerns relating to Sexually Transmitted Infections

• Living with HIV or cancer.

I have a kind, non-judgmental, warm and gentle therapeutic approach. You are a unique individual and the approach I use will be tailored to address your own needs.

I commended you for having the courage and strength to seek therapeutic support. I am open and ready to support and guide you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I am over the moon with my therapist and her approach. I’ve worked with Edna twice now through many different life events and her gentle, intuitive approach is exactly what I needed. She has supported me to get some brilliant results and I’ve learned to better show up for myself and find ways to process my emotions.

Reviewed January 2024

I've navigated some difficult experiences with Edna from loss and grief to anticipated grief and my dad's terminal illness. My sessions have given me the tools to weather each storm. My cousin recommended the app and honestly it's been the best gift she gave me and now that I continue to give myself. I can't recommend Edna enough, my first black therapist and the longest I've stayed in therapy tells you everything you need to know.

I decided to use this app after a bereavement and difficulties stemming from childhood PTSD. My sessions with Edna were very valuable and helped me gain an understanding on my emotional state.

My experience with Edna has been wonderful, I find myself really looking forward to our conversations and putting into practice what we've discussed has had such a positive impact on my life.

Reviewed December 2022

I'm really pleased with the sessions I've recommended people to the App because of my favourable experience, my therapist Edna and I have come along way, I originally signed up to help deal with personal issues in my relationship breakdown but along the way Edna has been there as I've really worked through other life issues like work related stress worry and anxiety and also recently my father being diagnosed with a serious cancer. I'm extremely grateful for Edna and this year wouldn't have been the same without having the listening ear and the tools that she has empowered me with. From reminding me to tune inwards to walking me through to my inner child and introducing me to my " self" I welcome the regular check-ins on the app and they prompt me when I have time to check in with myself and perhaps journal. Very happy to have signed up and been aligned to Edna.

Edna was counseling me for almost four month and the sessions were very productive and helpful. Edna is a very empathic person and understands to ask the right questions what led me to reflect on my automatic thinking patterns and therefore created new insights about myself. She’s very professional and also checked in via text in between our sessions to see how I’m doing. I‘d highly recommend her.

Edna is an amazing therapist! She does an in-depth first session with you, so she really understands you and your background. From this, she chooses the style of the therapy sessions so they match your character and what would help you best to process and heal. She really helps you to see your experiences from a different perspective and she supports and empowers you to find your answers yourself to move forward. She’s checking in in between and you know someone is there who is really interested in your mental and emotional progress. Edna help me greatly too process a traumatic experience and to learn how to move forward. I super highly recommend Edna as a therapist!

This is my first time going into therapy, although I was very anxious about the experience, Edna has been a lovely therapist. She listens and responds to what is being said and you truly feel that you have been heard. It is easy to converse with Edna as I feel she is non-judgemental and not only helps you by talking through your experiences and feelings, but validates them as well. In that way it is easier to express things and open up to her. It is a relief to know that there is someone I can go to talk to without worrying about additional judgement.

Im very happy with my sessions Edna and I have really made progress from the initial first time we met she has been very beneficial to my wellbeing. I took a break from therapy and she was very understanding and that confirmed for me that she is the right therapist for me. I've had therapy in the past but this time round somehow it's very different. I've been guided to my intuition, strengthened with daily tools, reminders and affirmations and it's really changed my life and I'm very grateful.

Edna has been simply amazing! I have never done therapy before and was so nervous and wasn’t sure it would help. Having Edna as my first therapist has been the best thing for me- she is so knowledgeable and seems to always get to the heart of the situation. I feel like my life has changed for the better in such a short amount of time. Edna I feel is the type of therapist you imagine and hope to have when you think of getting therapy. I am beyond grateful.
