About Andrew
Clients can expect a direct and steady approach. Andrew treats people as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to set clear, manageable goals. He encourages small changes that add up over time and helps people practice new ways of communicating and coping.
His background includes long experience with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, communication problems, control struggles, and separation after divorce. He also addresses guilt and shame, impulsivity, loneliness, questions about life purpose, and men’s issues. He has worked with mood and panic disorders as well as post-traumatic stress.
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on what helps in day-to-day life. He asks practical questions, listens without judgment, and offers tools people can try between sessions. The aim is steady progress rather than instant fixes.
Sessions are conducted by video only at this time. To begin, a person uses the site’s Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a time based on the therapist’s availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy
Andrew works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real-world change. One common approach he uses helps people understand patterns in their relationships and attachment. This approach looks at how past bonds shape current reactions and teaches new ways to connect and communicate. Another method focuses on managing intense emotions like anger and panic by teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping skills that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try techniques that match what you need. If something doesn’t fit, he adjusts the plan so sessions stay useful and relevant to your life.
Andrew is currently working with people by video only, so confirm session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, skip travel time, and use sessions for focused skill practice between responsibilities. Video work also lets the therapist observe facial cues and interaction patterns, which can be helpful for relationship and anger-related concerns. Ask about scheduling and session length when you complete the matching questionnaire to find a rhythm that works for you.
