How Andrew blends person-centred work and mindfulness online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers warmth, empathy and acceptance so people can speak openly and find their own direction. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings like anger, grief or low self-worth.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, addictive urges and moments of intense emotion by giving short practices to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will talk with each person about goals and daily routines, and together they decide which ideas to try. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually fits the person’s life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people practise mindfulness and coping exercises at home and review what helped between appointments.
