About Edmund

Edmund Britton is a counsellor (NCPS) with five years' professional experience working online and in person. He helps people with anxiety, stress, low self-worth, relationship and intimacy difficulties, anger, addictions and trauma-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and he works with people from various regions including the UK and internationally.

Edmund draws on straightforward, practical methods. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small, manageable changes. He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to look at how early relationships affect current patterns, and mindfulness techniques to calm racing thoughts.

In session he listens without judgement and encourages honest, direct conversation about what is worrying someone. He invites people to name what anger or resentment looks like in daily life and to try concrete experiments to see what helps reduce tension and improve communication. Work is paced to what feels doable rather than overwhelming.

Edmund is open about having worked through his own difficulties, and he uses that experience to normalise fears about being judged. He aims to keep sessions plain and practical, focused on steps someone can use between meetings. He suggests planning real-world practice and reviewing what worked and what didn’t.

He notes time-zone practicalities from living in China and tends to be better suited to people in the Middle East, Asia and Oceania, while morning appointments may fit UK or European clients. The first step is a short questionnaire and a scheduled first session to see how to proceed.

How sessions work

How his approaches work in online sessions

Edmund uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and practice small actions that align with those values, which can reduce the grip of anger and avoidance. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours, a useful way to reduce rumination and reactivity. Attachment-Based methods are used to notice relationship patterns that feed into hurt and control issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edmund treats this as a collaborative process where he helps the person try methods, notice what connects with them, and adjust the plan. Goals and preferences guide which techniques are emphasised and how sessions are paced.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session feels like too much. It can also allow people to use audio-only meetings when less bandwidth or not being on camera is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients apply these approaches in daily life and adapt exercises for remote sessions.
