About John
Counsellor John Day is HCPC registered and has five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties and depression. Sessions also cover grief, trauma, anger and problems with intimacy.
John uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Conversations are client-centred and grounded in what the person wants to change.
He also works with issues such as abandonment feelings, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, and drug and alcohol addiction. Men’s issues, midlife crises and questions about life purpose are included in his practice. Social anxiety, isolation and mood concerns are additional areas he addresses.
John describes work with shame, guilt and emptiness as part of many clients' stories. He aims to help people build practical coping skills and clearer choices rather than to label or diagnose. The emphasis is on what a person wants to do differently.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire then arrange a first meeting.
How his therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
John draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to practise small actions that reflect those values. ACT is often used for anxiety, low mood and patterns that feel stuck.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours. CBT works well for stress, social anxiety and some mood problems. Attachment-based ideas are brought in to look at relationship patterns and how earlier experiences affect current connection and trust.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That discussion usually happens in the first few sessions and may change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life and can reduce travel time. It can also suit people who prefer a shorter check-in, or who need a lower-bandwidth option such as phone-based contact; these practical choices help make regular meetings more manageable.
