John Andrews is a counsellor who combines client-centred care with practical, evidence-informed techniques. He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace. Sessions aim to help individuals feel heard and understood while working toward clearer goals.

He uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person in front of him, offering empathy and acceptance that help people gain self-understanding. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving.

Background and approach

Mindfulness techniques are woven in to help with stress, anxiety and sleeping difficulties. John has four years of experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded here as BACP. He works with many common life challenges including anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain and career concerns.

He also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, anger, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

He also lists work around blended family issues, BDSM and kink, and other complex overlaps like co-morbidity and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and John accepts international clients. He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

To begin, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to his schedule. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that suit online therapy and personal goals

John uses Client-Centred Therapy to create an accepting, empathic space where people can talk through what matters most to them and discover their own answers. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard, build self-esteem or make sense of emotions.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical shifts in behaviour and thought. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with stress because it focuses on clear steps and skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a path together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to individual needs rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and differing energy levels.
