Andrew Harris is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation, and he draws on three years of practice helping people facing stress, anxiety, loss, and major life changes. He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.
He often works with people dealing with bereavement, grief and adaptation after big changes. He also supports those struggling with depression, low mood, obsessive thoughts, relationship strain and general anxiety.
Background and approach
His additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family issues, chronic illness or pain, body image, and the effects of separation or domestic violence. Sessions are described as a meeting between two people where thoughts, feelings and behaviours are talked through. He aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space to explore difficult feelings and practical steps forward.
The relationship with the counsellor is central to his approach and he works collaboratively with each person to find what helps. Andrew accepts people from majority and minority backgrounds and seeks to treat everyone with respect. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.
Appointments are arranged through a matching and scheduling process on the site. His practice suits people who want a calm, steady listener who will talk through loss, anxiety or transitions and help them find manageable ways to cope.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand feelings and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach focuses on exploring thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and manage low mood; it helps people notice unhelpful cycles and try new ways of responding. Another approach centres on working with grief and loss by making space to process difficult emotions and find meaning after change; this can help with adjustment and day-to-day coping.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify their goals, try methods that fit their personality, and adjust the way they work as progress is made. Sessions centre on practical steps and emotional understanding rather than fixed rules.
Online therapy offers flexible options to suit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or for lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit support into busy days or to reflect between sessions. Registered and accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible while tailoring the way they work to each person’s needs.
