About Edgars

Edgars Semenovs offers calm, steady support for people dealing with depression and other difficult life challenges. He creates a warm space where clients can move at their own pace. Conversations are held with practical attention to feelings, behaviours and relationships so people can begin to feel steadier day to day.

Edgars combines a practical, person-focused way of working with ideas from attachment and cognitive approaches. He draws on mindfulness and existential perspectives to help people notice what matters to them now.

Background and approach

Sessions often include simple exercises that encourage self-compassion and pacing rather than long, technical explanations. His interest in counselling grew from personal experience of trauma and addiction recovery. That history informs his belief that people can change when they have the right conditions for healing.

He has six years of professional experience and is a BACP member, which reflects the professional framework he works within. Edgars has worked in NHS staff counselling, mental health recovery services, hospitals and crisis teams, and with organisations dealing with alcohol, drug and pornography addiction. These settings have shaped his practical approach to coping with distress and managing life changes.

He brings everyday practices into sessions, such as meditation, yoga and Qigong, to support emotional regulation. Clients can expect a respectful, compassionate tone and help in finding small, usable steps toward feeling better. For people wanting to begin, he invites a short matching process and a conversation to agree goals and the best way to work together.

Approaches Edgars lists

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

Online support

Edgars commonly uses attachment-informed work to help people understand patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current feelings. This approach can be useful for worries about intimacy, abandonment or repeated relationship difficulties.

He also uses client-centred principles which focus on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. That approach supports people who need a non-judgemental space to make sense of painful emotions and rebuild self-trust.

Finding the right way of working is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that match what the person wants to achieve. Sessions adapt over time based on what helps most, so choice and collaboration guide the work.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls are useful for a full conversational experience, phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, and text or chat options can be helpful for short check-ins or when writing is easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between sessions.
