Andrew Wood offers counselling and coaching for adults facing relationship problems, grief, career change, stress and anxiety, addiction, sleep difficulties and parenting strains. He also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, anger, bipolar and depression, compassion fatigue and ADHD. He works from a practical, person-led perspective and aims to help people find clearer ways forward.
Andrew uses a mix of approaches adjusted to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what changes a client wants to make.
Background and approach
He helps people set small, achievable steps as well as looking at patterns that keep problems recurring. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making real-life improvements. His background includes seven years of clinical practice and postgraduate study in counselling and psychotherapy.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. That membership reflects professional standards and ongoing development. Andrew has experience in NHS services, charity work and employee assistance programmes.
That range of settings means he is used to helping people with both personal and work-related issues. He also offers clinical supervision to other practitioners. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs.
People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and can then schedule sessions to suit their routine.
How Andrew’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work and is about listening, reflecting and helping someone find their own answers. It can be helpful for low self-esteem, relationship worries and general distress.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and on the next steps a person can take. It suits people who want brief, goal-oriented work for issues such as stress, anxiety or career decisions.
The right approach is often found together. Andrew will discuss goals and preferences and adapt his methods so they fit the person sitting across the screen or on the phone. That collaborative checking makes sure the work feels manageable and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone calls can be quicker and need less bandwidth, live chat allows short check-ins and messaging works for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
