About Andy

Andy Fairie is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. He aims to make first contact straightforward and to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they are really feeling. He uses straightforward language and practical steps so conversations stay clear and useful.

He works from a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) perspective that links thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

Background and approach

That approach looks for small, practical changes that quickly make other areas easier to manage. Andy explains what to try, checks how it landed, and adjusts the plan so it fits each person’s life. Andy brings three years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential.

He has long experience of listening in other professional roles and has written a book and given presentations on those topics. That background shapes his focus on careful listening and clear feedback. Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs and routines.

He offers sessions during office hours, at weekends and on Sunday afternoons to help people fit therapy around work and family commitments. Andy encourages taking small steps and making steady progress. He supports practical problem solving, coping strategies for difficult feelings, and ways to reduce unwelcome thoughts or behaviours.

If someone prefers a structured, collaborative approach he aims to provide that.

How CBT and online sessions can help you

Andy offers Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, tests them with practical experiments, and teaches coping strategies for anxiety, low mood, panic and compulsive behaviours.

He focuses on simple, step-by-step changes so progress feels manageable. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which techniques to try and will adapt them to match your goals and daily routines. Finding the best approach is a joint process that changes as you learn what helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions suit people who need less bandwidth or want a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let you work in short bursts during a busy day or keep a conversation going between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and let the therapist use the same CBT techniques across different formats.
