Andrew Clarke welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship strain. He writes simply and directly, so parents reading on a phone can quickly see whether he might fit. He acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out and aims to make the first steps straightforward and clear.
He works from the belief that each person knows their own story. He helps clients notice strengths and build practical ways to manage difficult emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, steady support and small changes that add up over time. Andrew uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
He uses client-centred conversations to create a respectful, non-judgemental space. He also brings elements of solution-focused work so sessions can produce practical next steps quickly. Andrew holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP.
He has five years of professional experience in counselling in the United Kingdom and also works as a counselling supervisor. He offers sessions in English and does not work with international clients. Typical concerns he helps with include anger, depression, panic attacks, mood disorders, communication problems and coping with life changes.
He also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, body image and feelings of isolation. Andrew’s approach is collaborative and straightforward. He helps people set achievable goals, try concrete strategies between sessions and review progress together.
How these approaches translate to online support
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people notice and change those patterns in everyday life. It can be useful for worries about abandonment, communication problems and feeling disconnected from others.Client-centred therapy centres on being heard and respected. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflecting feelings and helping people clarify what matters to them. This approach suits those who need a steady, accepting space to make sense of emotions.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on the emotional experiences that underlie relationship pain and personal distress. It helps people identify core feelings, understand patterns and try new ways of responding that reduce conflict and isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs in early sessions and then choose methods that fit. That collaborative planning means the approach can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation across distance, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports regular reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
