About Andrew

Andrew holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as his professional credential. Across 14 years in practice he has supported people with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and addictions.
Background and approach
He also helps with self-esteem, anger, career changes, parenting questions and problems linked to ADHD. Andrew draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. In sessions he aims to listen first, then help people find what works for them.
He keeps language plain and focuses on practical ways to make daily life easier. When addiction is part of the picture he looks at habitual behaviour and common triggers. He helps people talk through choices and set realistic steps forward.
The work combines honest conversation with down-to-earth strategies. People who prefer a gentle, steady approach often find this style helpful. Andrew balances empathy with practical tools and choices.
His aim is to help people feel clearer about next steps and more able to cope with change.

Approaches Andrew lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Client-centred and mindfulness approaches for online sessions
Andrew uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the person at the heart of the work. This approach means the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead, helping them make sense of their feelings and decisions. It often suits people facing uncertainty or major life choices.He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques can reduce rumination and help with anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm by teaching short, practical exercises to use day to day.
Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. Andrew will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. He adjusts the style as the work progresses so the sessions remain useful and relevant.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or when people prefer not to use a camera. These options make it possible to fit therapy around work, childcare and other routines.
