John Andrews

John Andrews is a counsellor who offers a warm, non-judgmental space for people to talk through difficult feelings. He holds BACP accreditation, and brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions. He focuses on helping people make sense of challenges and find ways to move forward.

John works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties. He also supports people facing grief, trauma and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Intellectual disability is listed among his areas of focus, alongside ADHD and other long-term or complex needs.

His practice draws on client-centred principles, so sessions begin with the person’s priorities and pace. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used where practical steps and thinking patterns can help reduce distress. He also uses existential and Jungian ideas when exploring meaning, identity and patterns that repeat over time.

With four years of professional experience, John aims to build a steady working relationship. He encourages curiosity about how past experiences affect present life. Many people find this combination useful for both short-term problems and longer standing difficulties.

People who choose to work with him can expect a straightforward, conversational approach. He aims to help clients identify small changes that make everyday life easier. The focus is on understanding and realistic steps forward, shaped by each person’s goals and situation.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

John uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on the person’s goals and pace, creating space for them to say what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical steps that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change patterns that keep someone stuck. Existential ideas are also available for people who want to talk about purpose, identity or big life choices and the meaning behind difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which ideas fit the client’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses, blending practical techniques with deeper reflection where needed.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving and daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can still use the same therapeutic tools when work happens remotely, and sessions can be arranged to match a person’s schedule and goals.
