About Andrew
He trained in psychology with a Bachelor of Science and completed a Master of Science in Counselling. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. That combination shapes how he listens and plans work with each person.
In sessions he aims to create an open space for people to talk about thoughts and feelings without judgement. He uses clear techniques from different approaches and checks in with clients about what feels useful. Practical steps and short-term goals are common parts of his work.
Andrew uses client-centred ways of working to keep the conversation focused on the person’s experience. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help with unhelpful thinking and on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Solution-focused methods are used to spot strengths and small changes to try between sessions.
He accepts international clients and runs therapy in English. Sessions are set up via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and the booking process starts by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on respectful listening and responding to what matters to the individual. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings such as anger, grief or low mood.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking. It is often used for anxiety, stress and problems with sleep or routine.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, then try approaches that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy depend on the formats the counsellor offers, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits. They also let people work with a registered professional who is based elsewhere in the United Kingdom or who accepts international clients.
