John Andrews, BACP

John Andrews is a counsellor who works from a humanistic, client-centred stance. He offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. He welcomes straightforward discussion about stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addictions and the other midlife challenges that often prompt change.

He combines person-focused listening with ideas from cognitive behavioural and existential approaches. That means sessions can include practical techniques to manage thoughts and feelings, alongside deeper conversation about values, purpose and life direction. He also draws on Jungian ideas and mindfulness when those perspectives suit the client’s aims.

With four years of experience, he has supported people through grief, trauma, bipolar and long-term conditions, and the everyday pressures of parenting, work and caring roles. He also offers support around intimacy, self-esteem, anger and the challenges of ageing or adoption backgrounds.

John is registered with the BACP, which is shown as BACP. He works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. International clients may be accepted; check the booking details when you reach out.

Approaches that guide online work and conversations

John draws on client-centred practice, which focuses on listening closely and following what each person brings to the room. That approach helps when people need a space to reflect, make sense of feelings, and consider life choices without pressure.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing day-to-day stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to use. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift or new priorities emerge.

When considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming this lets you arrange sessions that fit everyday life, such as fitting a shorter check-in around work, choosing sessions that do not require video, or planning times that suit caring responsibilities. Online work can make it easier to keep continuity across moves or travel, and it often helps people sustain regular appointments alongside busy schedules.
