About Justin
Justin Andrews offers help for a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, anger and parenting. He also supports people facing relationship problems, sleep difficulties, intimacy issues, ADHD and coping with life changes. His straightforward approach aims to make conversations useful and manageable for busy parents.
Justin trained and works within the framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He draws on 14 years as a counsellor alongside over 35 years in social care roles.
Background and approach
That background includes mental health, learning disabilities and criminal justice settings. Sessions are conversational and practical. Justin listens first to understand what matters most, then uses methods such as mindfulness exercises, solution-focused steps and cognitive strategies.
He explains techniques plainly and helps people try them between sessions. He also brings an interest in meditation and Buddhist practice, which informs his use of mindfulness and grounding tools. Teaching and running mindfulness sessions are part of his broader work, including work in custodial settings.
Justin tends to work at a steady pace and supports people who want clear ways to manage difficult feelings. He aims to help clients build skills to cope, make choices and find direction when life feels overwhelming. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged online by following the site's booking process.

Approaches that suit online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with warmth and respect so people feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through parenting strains, grief or relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing stress with clear exercises to practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This helps people find what works best for them rather than relying on one single technique.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help progress. Phone sessions can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging suits brief check-ins, reflective work and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around family life, work and caring responsibilities.
