About Andy
Andy Fairie, NCPS, focuses on helping people overcome worries that get in the way of daily life. He listens with attention and without judgement. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, low self-esteem and addictions, including issues like OCD and phobias.
He keeps things straightforward in sessions. Conversations look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviour affect each other. That helps people spot small changes they can try straight away.
Background and approach
Andy uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into practical steps. He helps clients choose the simplest area to change first and builds from there. Progress is usually noticed within a few sessions, though the number needed depends on each person’s goals.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. He offers appointments during office hours, at weekends and on some Sunday afternoons to fit different schedules. He has three years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential.
He has spent many years listening to others in professional roles, has published a book and delivers presentations on related topics. Andy aims to make the first step easier. He works with each client to set simple, achievable goals and reviews progress together.
The focus is practical change and feeling more able to cope day to day.
How CBT and online sessions can help
Andy primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT breaks down worries into manageable parts and tests small changes to reduce anxiety, panic or unhelpful patterns. It is often helpful for problems like stress, mood difficulties, panic attacks, OCD and phobias.The right approach is worked out together. Andy will listen to your situation and goals, then discuss whether CBT or a particular way of using it fits best. This collaborative planning means techniques are chosen to suit your needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break in a busy day. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing contact between calls. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and make it easier to keep regular sessions when life is busy.
