My name is Edinson, and I am an experienced counsellor working with both individuals and couples, offering a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to explore emotional, psychological, and relational difficulties. My clinical experience includes supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress, trauma, bereavement, loss, relationship difficulties, and identity-related challenges. I have significant experience working with individuals who have experienced sexual abuse, both in childhood and adulthood, and I approach this work with sensitivity and care, recognising the long-term emotional, relational, and psychological impact of such experiences. My approach is trauma-informed and carefully paced, prioritising safety, choice, and empowerment. I also support clients navigating life transitions, work-related pressures, and long-standing emotional patterns, helping them develop greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and client-centred, with particular experience in working with couples using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). EFT is an evidence-based, attachment-informed model that helps couples understand and change negative interaction cycles, strengthen emotional bonds, and create greater safety and connection within their relationship. Alongside EFT, I draw on relational, psychodynamic, attachment-informed, and mindfulness-based approaches to tailor therapy to the specific needs of each individual or couple. I place strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, working collaboratively to build trust and provide a consistent and supportive environment in which meaningful and lasting change can take place.

I also have experience working with addiction and addictive behaviours, including alcohol and drug misuse, as well as co-dependency. My work includes supporting clients experiencing difficulties related to food, gambling, internet use, sex, smoking, and work addiction, either directly or through the impact of a loved one’s addiction. I understand addiction within a wider emotional and relational context, recognising its links with trauma, attachment difficulties, shame, and self-worth. Whether working with individuals or couples, I offer a compassionate, thoughtful, and professional therapeutic service, supporting clients to build insight, strengthen relationships, and move towards greater emotional wellbeing.
