He helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, depression and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage current problems and build coping skills.
Andrew uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and to act on what matters to them. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas for thinking-feeling-action patterns and Client-Centred methods to keep conversations grounded in the client’s priorities.
His work covers a wide range of concerns. These include loneliness, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. He also addresses family of origin issues, fatherhood concerns, attachment and abandonment themes, and difficulties around communication and commitment.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. Andrew helps people set small goals, try new ways of coping, and review what is working. He encourages practical steps as well as reflection on patterns that keep problems going.
Andrew works in English. He does not take international clients at present. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take action that fits their values. It can be useful for stress, worry and life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It is practical for unpicking anxiety, low mood and patterns that keep problems going.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the client to lead the work. It is used when someone wants a reflective, person-led space to talk through concerns.
The choice of approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Decisions about methods are made together and can change as the work develops.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can fit into everyday life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, and making it easier to schedule around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people balance therapy with their routine.
