John Lennox, BACP

John Lennox is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. He works with people facing midlife questions alongside stress, anxiety, depression and grief. He also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and worries about work or career direction.

John uses a blend of practical talking therapy and structured approaches. Sessions focus on clear goals, everyday coping skills and understanding how past experiences shape current patterns. He aims to build straightforward plans for sleep, eating, stress and addictive behaviours when these are causing problems.

His background includes long experience with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and he also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches. That mix helps him adapt to different needs and preferences rather than following a single method.

In the room he keeps things direct and person-centred. He listens, reflects what he hears and helps people practise new responses between sessions. This can include short exercises, behavioural experiments and simple mindfulness tasks you can use day to day.

People come to him when life changes feel overwhelming, when loss or past abuse is resurfacing, or when they want clearer direction in midlife. He aims to make therapy practical and relevant so people can return to their lives with more confidence and clearer steps forward.

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match your values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; this can be useful for sleep, worry and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current connections and helps people change repeated relationship patterns and improve emotional closeness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that suit the person. That makes the process collaborative and responsive rather than fixed from the outset.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with therapists in different locations, including internationally, while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
