About John
John Andrews is a counsellor who uses a human-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk at their own pace and explore what matters to them. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
He also supports people facing parenting strain, career changes, sleep problems, and difficulties with self-esteem or motivation.
Background and approach
His practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness. Sessions focus on understanding current patterns, trying practical strategies, and noticing thoughts and feelings as they arise. This combination aims to help people manage symptoms now while also making sense of recurring difficulties.
John describes the counselling relationship as central to the work. He pays attention to how past experiences can shape present behaviour and brings a reflective, compassionate stance to those conversations. Clients can expect a steady, collaborative process rather than quick fixes.
He holds BACP, which is shown as his professional credential. John has four years of experience and offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Work is tailored to each person’s goals, whether that is coping with a specific problem or exploring deeper personal change.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
John works from a client-centred base which means sessions begin with the client’s priorities and unfold at their pace. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions to emotional struggle.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to try practical strategies that can reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people become more aware of thoughts and bodily sensations and to build steadier coping in the moment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adapt methods as needed. That collaborative process aims to find what actually helps the individual rather than applying a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for conversations that benefit from face-to-face contact, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel and to continue planning and reflection between meetings.
