About Edgars
Edgars Semenovs is a counsellor who aims to help people make sense of painful experiences and regain a steadier sense of self. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace about worries, difficult memories, addictive behaviours and relationship problems. Sessions are practical and grounded, with a focus on helping people notice what matters to them now.
Edgars draws on existential ideas that look at life meaning and choice, alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working that value the person’s own experience.
Background and approach
He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness exercises when helpful. Sessions may include talking, guided mindfulness, noticing bodily responses, and short practical tasks to try between meetings. His interest in counselling grew from his own recovery from trauma and addiction.
That lived experience informs how he listens and how he supports people to find their own resources. He is a BACP member, which is listed as his professional credential. Edgars has six years of practice experience and has worked in NHS staff counselling, mental health recovery services, crisis teams and addiction services.
He also trained in embodied approaches for working with trauma and developmental injury. These backgrounds shape a practical, compassionate style. People who choose to work with him can expect a collaborative process aimed at increasing self-compassion, clearer choices and more manageable day-to-day coping.
He speaks English, Latvian and Russian and offers sessions online in the United Kingdom and to international clients.

Online support
How different approaches work online with practical support
Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. Online sessions using this approach help people look at what matters to them, face difficult life changes and find clearer personal direction in daily life.Attachment-based therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. In online work this can mean noticing how people connect or pull away in relationships and practising new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and follows the person’s pace so they can explore feelings and decisions in their own way.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods together and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative exploration makes it easier to pick practical tools and ways of working that fit the person’s life and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people work face to face when fuller expression is useful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins, written reflection or when typing helps organise thoughts. These options make it easier to have regular contact without major travel and to choose the format that best suits daily routines.
