John Lennox, BACP

John Lennox helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, grief, addiction and problems with intimacy. He works with relationship and family concerns, career strain and life changes. John uses straightforward approaches so conversations stay clear and focused.

John is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of experience in the United Kingdom. He draws on cognitive behavioural methods alongside acceptance and commitment ideas to keep work practical. He also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused perspectives when relationships and connection are central.

Sessions with John aim to be calm and purposeful. He listens first, then helps people spot patterns that cause pain. Together they set small, realistic steps to try between sessions. Progress is measured in practical changes rather than jargon.

John has worked with a wide range of concerns, including eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, codependency and body image. He also supports people dealing with ageing, cancer, caregiver stress and recovery from abuse. His experience includes working with kink and alternative sexual cultures and addressing abandonment and attachment issues.

People who choose John can expect flexible online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. He accepts international clients and will discuss what style and session length suit each person. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, known as CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding emotions and improving emotional connection, which can be useful when relationships, attachment or intimacy are central concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a shared project. The therapist will listen to the concerns, discuss options and together decide which methods to try first. That plan can be adjusted as work progresses so the approach matches the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers different ways to meet depending on what suits someone best. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide short check-ins, ongoing support between longer sessions, or a way to fit therapy around a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep consistency and adapt sessions to everyday life.
