About John
John Edgar is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience in mental health settings. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, career worries, LGBT concerns, and intimacy-related issues. He also supports those facing parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and ADHD related struggles.
He has worked across prisons, schools and cancer charities, so he is used to different kinds of pressure and loss.
Background and approach
He aims to be non-judgemental and treats people with respect and sensitivity. Sessions are paced to each person and tailored to their needs. John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical conversation to help people manage difficult feelings.
He often focuses on coping strategies that can be used between sessions. The goal is to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming. People describe meeting him for straightforward, down-to-earth counselling that addresses real life problems.
He pays attention to the effects of illness, trauma and major life changes when planning support. He also helps people explore issues such as attachment, abandonment and life purpose. John accepts clients from the UK and internationally and runs sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. He welcomes the first step towards change and aims to create a calm space for talking things through at a person’s own pace.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adjust methods as the work progresses. This makes it easier to find a way of working that fits each person’s situation.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls are often easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can feel quicker for brief check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer writing between sessions. These options help fit counselling around work, health needs and daily life routines.
