Justin Andrews, BACP

Justin Andrews helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and depression. He is clear and straightforward in session and aims to make therapy easy to follow. Justin uses practical methods so people can cope better with life changes, relationships, sleep problems and anger. He is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of counselling experience in the UK.

Justin draws on decades of wider social care work to inform his approach. That background includes work with mental health, learning differences and the criminal justice sector. He also brings long-term personal practice in meditation and mindfulness to sessions.

In therapy he listens first and works from what each person needs. Conversations are practical and rooted in everyday life. Techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work are used alongside client-centred listening and emotionally focused ideas to support clearer communication and stronger emotional connection.

Sessions may include simple mindfulness exercises to reduce tension and improve sleep. Justin also helps people address issues around intimacy, parenting pressures, career decisions, guilt and shame. He supports people exploring identity, life purpose and the particular strains of illness or long-term pain.

Justin works with adults in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. He encourages a steady, collaborative pace so changes feel manageable.

How Justin’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and following their pace. Sessions begin with listening so therapy fits the person's needs rather than a fixed plan. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers simple exercises to reduce anxiety, improve mood and tackle unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Justin will discuss goals, try different techniques and adjust what he uses based on what helps most. The aim is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences shape the work and changes feel practical and achievable.

Online sessions can be video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and reading non-verbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs while keeping a steady pace of support.
