John Day helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions and low mood to feel steadier and more able to cope. He offers a calm, respectful approach and works to make each session practical and understandable. John uses straightforward language and focuses on what feels most urgent for the person in front of him.

John is registered with the HCPC, the Health and Care Professions Council, and has five years of practice experience.

Background and approach

He tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than following a single template. Sessions aim to identify small, doable steps that make daily life easier. He works with a range of concerns including relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, and difficulties around intimacy.

He also supports people dealing with abandonment, isolation, guilt, addiction to drugs or alcohol, and struggles with life purpose or midlife change. John draws on several therapy styles to match what each person needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that fit their values.

He also uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to focus on how past relationships shape current feelings. Sessions are offered in English and John accepts international clients. He aims to create a practical, non-judgemental space where people can talk through problems and find clearer ways forward.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and addictive behaviours by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical ways to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for stress, phobias and mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people change patterns in close relationships and intimacy.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and try different approaches when needed. This collaborative process aims to fit methods to the problem rather than forcing one style on everyone.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions suit those who prefer to be off camera or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing support and for people who find typed communication easier. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, family and travel.
