John Day, HCPC

John Day focuses on people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or life changes. He aims to make first steps easier to take. Conversations are straightforward and paced to the individual.

He works with adults facing addictions, relationship struggles, grief and trauma. He also helps with intimacy-related issues, anger and problems such as isolation, guilt or emptiness. His practice addresses specific concerns including communication problems, divorce and separation, and social anxiety.

John uses a mix of approaches and adapts them to each person. He leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. Attachment-based ideas inform work around connection and trust.

He holds HCPC registration, which is a professional registration in the United Kingdom. John has five years of experience working in counselling and therapeutic roles. That background gives him practical experience with mood disorders and substance issues.

Sessions are conversational and collaborative. He aims to listen without judgement and to set goals together. People can expect a clear plan with concrete steps, reviewed as they progress.

How John’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, low mood or avoidance are getting in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces practical exercises to reduce distress and try new ways of coping. It is useful for anxiety, depression and mood-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. John will discuss different methods and recommend what might suit each person’s goals and preferences. The choice of method is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit around everyday life. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets someone reflect in writing between sessions. These options aim to make regular contact easier and to fit therapy into work or family commitments.
