About Andrew
Andrew Harris is a psychotherapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP registration, which reflects his professional standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He focuses on helping people who are navigating grief, anxiety, depression, stress and major life changes.
Sessions are aimed at exploring thoughts, feelings and behaviours to make daily life feel more manageable. He has a particular interest in bereavement and loss, and in supporting people facing low mood, obsessive tendencies, and the challenge of adapting to change.
Background and approach
He also works with concerns linked to relationships, abandonment and attachment issues. Andrew is experienced in addressing long-term health impacts such as chronic pain, illness and caregiver stress. Andrew describes counselling as a meeting between two people who talk through difficulties and look for ways forward.
He offers a welcoming and non-judgemental space where clients’ experiences are heard. His style is collaborative and straightforward, aiming to help people understand patterns and make practical changes. People from majority and minority backgrounds are invited to seek support.
He treats communication problems, control issues, body image worries and the emotional effects of major life events like divorce and separation. His approach also covers challenges associated with autism and Asperger syndrome when they affect day-to-day coping. Sessions work through what matters most to the client and move at a pace the client sets.
Andrew believes the relationship between counsellor and client is central, and he focuses on building that connection first. This helps shape clear goals and small, achievable steps forward.
Evidence-based approaches and online support
Andrew draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviour. One approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood by practising alternative responses and gradual behavioural changes. Another approach concentrates on processing loss and grief through guided conversation, memory work and planning for the future so daily life becomes more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so methods can be adapted if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face style sessions, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to arrange therapy around work, care duties or other commitments.
