John Andrews

John Andrews offers a warm counselling approach built on humanistic principles. He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them and move at their own pace.

He explains his work simply and directly. He listens, reflects, and helps clients notice patterns in feelings and behaviour. John believes people have the capacity to grow when met with empathy and authenticity. He holds that stance throughout sessions.

John also draws on psychodynamic ideas. This means he may gently explore how past experiences and early relationships shape current reactions. That work helps people see recurring patterns and make different choices.

He uses a mix of practical and reflective methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness practice and client-centred listening are part of his approach. These methods are used to manage symptoms and build skills for everyday life.

With four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, he works with a wide range of issues. These include stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, anger and relationship concerns.

John aims to help people feel less stuck and more able to steer their lives. He encourages realistic steps and honest conversation so clients can find clearer direction and more satisfying ways of coping.

Approaches that translate well to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and providing a steady presence. It helps people feel heard and supported while they talk through worries and life choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It is practical and often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values and the choices people face. It can be useful for those wrestling with life changes, loss or a sense of being stuck.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods in a collaborative way to suit each person.

For practical matters, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people choose online work because it can save travel time, fit into a lunch break, allow a quieter environment or make it easier to keep regular sessions. A mix of reflective conversation and short practical exercises can be done remotely, and the therapist will help tailor sessions to match daily life and commitments.
