About John

John Andrews works with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression and relationship difficulties using a client-centred way of working. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' counselling experience.

John focuses on helping people talk through what is troubling them and on understanding patterns that repeat in life. He listens for connections between past experiences and present reactions. Sessions aim to increase awareness and provide practical ways to manage distressing thoughts and feelings.

He uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small changes in behaviour. He also draws on Jungian ideas about meaning and symbolism, and on mindfulness techniques to support noticing present-moment experience. These approaches are used alongside client-centred work that keeps the person's experience central.

John has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood difficulties, chronic illness and career stress. He can address attachment or abandonment issues and aspects of identity such as body image and alternative sexual cultures.

Sessions are practical and conversational. John aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and to make choices that fit their lives.

How his therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's experience and offering acceptance so they can speak openly. It helps with feelings of being stuck, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Mindfulness Therapy supports paying attention to the present moment and noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. It is often used alongside other approaches to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past, and then agree a way forward that fits the client's needs.

Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, because the biography does not list specific options. Online working can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
