John Andrews, BACP

John Andrews practices using a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the centre of sessions. He invites people to speak openly and at their own pace. The first aim is to make space for honest conversation and steady understanding.

Over four years of practice have given him experience with many common and complex concerns. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and grief. He also supports those facing relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, career decisions and coping with life changes.

John draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, existential ideas and Jungian perspectives when they fit the work. That means practical thought-and-behaviour strategies are used alongside conversations about meaning, values and deeper life patterns. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with grounding and attention in daily life.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. He listens for patterns shaped by past experience and helps people spot small, practical steps that can reduce pressure and build confidence. He can also discuss longer-term themes like identity, attachment and how early experiences still shape reactions now.

John is registered with the BACP, holds four years of clinical experience and works from the United Kingdom. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. New people start by completing a short questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit their schedule.

How John’s approaches work online

John uses a person-centred approach that focuses on what matters to the individual - listening closely, reflecting, and helping people feel heard. This approach suits worries about stress, relationships and self-esteem because it creates a steady space for honest conversation.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT is practical and useful for anxiety, depression, addictive patterns and sleep problems because it offers clear exercises and ways to test new habits. Mindfulness techniques are offered to improve present-moment attention and reduce reactivity, helpful for stress, grief and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
