About Andrew

Andrew Westcott is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He draws on 11 years of experience to support people dealing with grief, trauma and other difficult life issues. His approach gives people space to set the pace and follow what matters most to them.

He focuses on bereavement and loss but also helps with stress, anxiety and depression. Relationship difficulties, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes are part of his regular work.

Background and approach

He also supports people affected by trauma and abuse and those experiencing compassion fatigue. In sessions he offers a calm, accepting presence rather than a directive style. Clients lead the conversation while he reflects and listens to help them make sense of what’s happening.

This way of working suits people who need time and space to explore painful feelings without pressure. Andrew is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. He is registered with the BACP, which he lists among his professional details.

His practice aims to be steady and patient when people face confusing or overwhelming emotions. Practical arrangements are flexible to fit different needs. Sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions to suit their timetable.

Ways of working Andrew names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Person-Centred practice and online therapy options

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist provides an accepting, non-judgemental presence and encourages people to lead the session. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through grief, trauma, relationship strain or low mood without being pushed toward particular answers.

That style means the therapist follows your lead and reflects what you say. Together you explore what feels most important and what goals matter to you. Figuring out the best way to work together is a collaborative process and the counsellor will adjust methods based on your needs and preferences.

Online sessions come in several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn't practical, live chat for shorter exchanges and text-based messaging for ongoing check-ins. Video can suit deeper conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief updates and messaging lets you keep in touch between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties or travel.
