About Edgars

Edgars Semenovs offers calm, steady support for people coping with trauma, anxiety, addiction and life changes. He creates a space where clients can move at their own pace and talk about painful memories, difficult feelings and behaviours. His approach centres on acceptance and building self-compassion to help people feel more able in daily life.

Edgars uses practical, experience-based methods drawn from several approaches. He combines Trauma-Focused and Attachment-Based ideas with Client-Centred ways of listening and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools when they help.

Background and approach

He also draws on existential thinking to help people find meaning and make choices that fit their values. He came to counselling partly through his own recovery from trauma and addictions, and that personal history shapes his belief in people’s capacity to heal. Edgars has worked in NHS staff counselling, mental health recovery services, mental health hospitals and crisis teams.

He has also supported people via organisations specialising in alcohol, drug and pornography addictions. Edgars holds an Integrative Counselling Level 5 degree awarded with first class honours and is a BACP member. He has undertaken Sensorimotor Psychotherapy training for trauma themes and developmental injury, and training in Embodied Clean Language Coaching.

He combines these studies with daily yoga, meditation and qigong practice. Sessions are offered in English, Latvian and Russian. He works with people across the United Kingdom and with international clients, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session online.

Ways of working Edgars names

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

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Edgars uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people gently attend to distressing memories and bodily responses. This approach often focuses on processing past events and reducing their impact on current life. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in relationships and to build safer, more helpful ways of relating to others and oneself.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edgars collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and comfort level. He adapts techniques over time so the pace and focus match what the client wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper connection, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer no camera, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity with their chosen therapist.
