About John

John Andrews is a counsellor who works from a human-centred approach. He starts by offering a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about their worries at their own pace. He is listed with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

John often uses Client-Centred Therapy to help people feel heard and understood. He also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify patterns that keep problems going. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than technical jargon-filled meetings.

Background and approach

He supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and low self-esteem. He also helps with relationship strain, grief, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Other areas he covers include sleeping problems, parenting pressures, career concerns and coping with big life changes.

John has four years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. He pays attention to how past experiences and early relationships might affect what someone is dealing with now. That includes themes such as attachment, abandonment and adoption experiences.

Sessions draw on mindfulness and existential thinking when exploring meaning, values and how to live more authentically. John aims to help people develop clearer choices and small, manageable steps for change. He encourages self-compassion while people work through difficult feelings and decisions.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an attentive, non-judgemental space where the counsellor listens closely and reflects what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel understood and can reduce anxiety or isolation.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and try small experiments to change them. It is useful for anxiety, sleeping problems, low mood and patterns that keep difficulties going.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor discusses goals and preferences and together they decide whether to emphasise listening, practical CBT techniques or deeper meaning-focused work. This collaborative planning can be adjusted as the relationship develops.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more visual contact, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, brief text check-ins suit busy days, and live chat or messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and fit around work, family life and travel.
