About Edgars
Edgars Semenovs offers calm, steady support for people facing anxiety, stress, addiction and the fallout from difficult life events. He creates a pace that suits each person and encourages self-compassion as part of the work. Edgars aims to help people feel less overwhelmed and more able to face day-to-day life.
He combines talking therapy with body-aware practices and mindfulness. Sessions often focus on noticing how thoughts, feelings and physical reactions connect.
Background and approach
Practical tools from cognitive approaches are used alongside reflective work about meaning and relationships. Edgars draws on his own recovery experience to inform his empathy for people working through trauma and addictions. He describes therapy as providing the conditions needed to begin healing wounds from the past.
That perspective shapes how he listens and responds in sessions. He has six years' experience and is a BACP member. His background includes work in mental health recovery services, crisis teams and as an NHS staff counsellor.
He has also worked with organisations that support people with alcohol, drug and pornography addictions. Edgars offers sessions in English, Latvian and Russian and works with international clients. His practice blends attachment-based and client-centred ideas with cognitive and existential perspectives, alongside mindfulness and embodied approaches.
He invites people to explore changes at a pace that feels safe and doable.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and expectations in close connections. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in how they relate and learn new ways of feeling safer in relationships. Client-centred work emphasises being listened to without judgement and following the client's pace; this often feels useful for people who need acceptance and time to find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, stress and mood difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods together. This collaborative process means approaches can change as needs do, so sessions stay focused on what matters to the person.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, daily support or when someone prefers typing. These options make it easier to schedule sessions and maintain continuity when life is busy or travel is difficult.
