As a trauma informed Counsellor, I offer a heartfelt space where you, at your own comfortable pace, feel able to explore difficult memories, feelings, thoughts, behaviours and relationships.
In order to facilitate the process of healing, I draw from such modalities as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Compassion Focused, Solution Focused Approaches, Trauma Informed Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Focusing (Gendlin), Clean Language Inquiry, and Existential psychotherapy.
I was drawn to counselling due to my personal experiences of trauma and various addictions that I have been able to successfully work through. This personal experience has rendered me a sense of confidence that there is an immense healing power in each individual provided we have the ‘necessary conditions’ available.
I believe that the aim of the therapy is to provide you with these ‘necessary conditions’ to enable you to heal the wounds from the past that are still affecting you now.
Here is some of the feedback I have received from my clients:
'I feel like I can accept myself and I feel more positive about the future'
'I feel like I am now kinder to myself'
'No matter what happens, I've always got me'
'I feel more empowered knowing that I can always take a pause and attend to my feelings with compassion'
I feel that true healing happens when we realise our inherent worthiness; when we are able to pause and savour our essential nature of simply being alive just as we are. And this comes with acceptance and self-compassion. As C.Rogers once put it: ''When you accept yourself just as you are, then you can change'
Please, feel free to get in touch and we can look for solutions together that you cannot find on your own.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very compassionate and helpful
Edgar is a very professional and sensitive therapist. I am very grateful for his good questions , tips and support. I feel much better. I will continue my therapy. It helps a lot.
Edgars is highly professional and skilled in his area whilst being gentle and easy to talk to.
Edgars is a wonderful therapist who takes time to listen and give individualized feedback. He helps me view things in a different light. I can wholeheartedly recommend Edgars to anyone seeking advice.
Edgars listens without judgement and offers a useful psychological perspective to the issues that we are discussing.
I have had one session with Edgars so far, and I find it very helpful. And he makes it easy to share thoughts. Very caring person and knowledgeable. I am booking my second session soon.
Would greatly recommend booking a session with Edgars Semenovs. Working with Edgards made me more aware of the mechanisms behind my addiction to alcohol and provided me with a set of tools to become and stay sober.
I feel very comfortable talking to Edgars and he patiently listens to me and he he actually enlighten me with the things with exactly the those things which I never thought about. He has exactly pointed out the problem and the solution for the problem I am so much thankful to him.
Edgars is a wonderful therapist full of insightful knowledge that engages your mind, your soul, and your body. He doesn't just have a range of therapeutic experiences that will enhance your journey to mental betterment but also proposes psychosomatic practices that will allow you to tap into your physical body, emphasizing the idea that the mind and the body are connected which I found incredibly helpful. I highly recommend his services, for they will bring you closer to finding peace within and lead you to better understand who you are. Thank you Edgars, until next time!
I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Edgars. He has a very pleasant nature, is thoughtful, and has proved helpful.
Edgar is a committed therapist and a great listener. He made me feel comfortable, and not judged, creating a safe environnement for healing and growing. His approach is hollistic, seing me as a whole and finding solutions together to the things I wanted to change and improve in my life. When I felt lost or disoriented, he could use the right words, simple and clear words that resonate in me, opening new doors for healing.
although we are early in our therapeutic alliance, Edgars has shown himself to be a great listener, communicator, and very caring. I look forward to working further with him.
