About Edward
Edward Mcguinness is a UK-based counsellor with three years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse. He aims to create a respectful, compassionate space that helps people take the first steps toward change.
Edward adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. He draws on Jungian ideas alongside practical therapies to help people better understand patterns and feel less stuck.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters now and on coping tools that fit everyday life. People come to him for many concerns - low self-esteem, motivation, grief, issues around intimacy, addictions and challenges linked to work or parenting. He also supports those navigating ADHD, body image, chronic illness, career changes and caregiving stress.
His work includes helping people process abandonment, adoption or attachment-related worries. Edward has experience working with employee assistance and similar programmes, so he is familiar with short-term and workplace-linked support. He approaches each conversation with sensitivity and without judgement.
The aim is to help people build practical skills and clearer self-understanding. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for international clients. He uses a collaborative style - listening first, then planning a way forward together.
If someone wants to make a change, he offers steady support through that process.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Jungian therapy looks at recurring themes, symbols and personal stories to help people find meaning in difficult experiences. It can be useful for those who want to understand long-term patterns and changes in identity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and committing to actions that match personal values. ACT is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that match a person’s needs and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy remains collaborative and flexible.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let people read gestures and tone while meeting from wherever is convenient. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a break or a walk. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to speak on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
