Edu’s approach and specialisms 

Edu works in an integrative way, grounded in humanistic and relational therapy.

A humanistic approach focuses on the individual’s lived experience. The work is collaborative and non-judgemental, allowing clients to explore thoughts, emotions, and responses in a way that leads to greater clarity rather than quick solutions.

Her work is also informed by systemic and relational thinking, which means looking at the wider context around a person, including relationships, environment, and culture. This is particularly important in couples work, neurodiversity, and cross-cultural experiences.

Where useful, she brings in CBT and solution-focused work to offer structure and practical strategies, especially when clients are dealing with anxiety, stress, or burnout.

Her work is active and collaborative. She helps clients think about what is happening, not just talk about it, and supports them in developing ways of responding that feel more realistic and sustainable.

Neurodiverse and Mixed Neurotype Couples

Edu works with couples where one or both partners are neurodivergent, including mixed neurotype relationships.

Her background in couple counselling, including her work with Relate, informs how she works with communication difficulties, conflict, and differences in emotional processing.

Neurodiverse and mixed neurotype couples often struggle with differences in communication style, expectations, sensory processing, and regulation. These differences can easily turn into blame or repeated arguments. The work focuses on helping both partners understand these differences more clearly, so that the dynamic becomes easier to make sense of. From there, she supports couples in developing ways of communicating and relating that are actually workable for both people, rather than trying to fit into a standard model that doesn’t apply.

Expat Support

Edu works with expatriates and individuals living between cultures.

Having lived and worked across different countries herself, she understands that relocation is not just practical but psychological. Many clients come to therapy feeling unsettled in ways that are hard to name, particularly where identity, belonging, and relationships begin to shift. This can include isolation, loss of support networks, cultural disorientation, and changes in how people experience themselves within work, partnerships, and family life. For some, it also brings up questions around where “home” is, or a sense of being between places without feeling fully grounded in either.

Edu’s approach creates space to think about these experiences more clearly. The work focuses on understanding what has changed, what feels lost or unfamiliar, and how to establish a sense of continuity and stability within a different environment.

She also supports clients navigating cross-cultural relationships, where differences in expectations, communication, and values can create tension or misunderstanding.

Alongside the reflective work, she helps clients find practical ways of managing the emotional and relational impact of living across cultures, so that day-to-day life feels more manageable and coherent.

Neurodiversity

Edu works with neurodivergent individuals, including ADHD and autistic traits, whether diagnosed or self-identified.

The focus is on understanding how someone’s neurotype affects the way they think, respond, and manage day-to-day life, particularly where this has been misunderstood or negatively framed.

This includes psychoeducation and practical strategies, helping clients make sense of patterns and find ways of managing them that actually fit how they function.

The work supports greater self-awareness, less self-criticism, and a more stable sense of how to navigate everyday challenges.
