Background and approach

Andrew draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that feed anxiety and depression. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in clarifying values and taking meaningful action when emotions feel overwhelming. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and early connections shape current difficulties.

This helps with repeated struggles such as trust, abandonment fears and communication breakdowns within close relationships. Practical problems such as work stress, burnout and addiction concerns are addressed with clear strategies and homework you can try between sessions. Andrew offers phone, video, live chat and messaging formats to fit different routines and needs.

He works in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the platform process.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Andrew combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in short, clear ways. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link, and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your goals and try methods that suit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are useful for a traditional face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, live chat helps with shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
