John Lennox is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life changes. He also supports those dealing with addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, relationship and family problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain and work or career stress.

John holds BACP accreditation and brings 14 years of professional experience to his work. He uses practical, conversational sessions to help people make clear changes in day-to-day life.

Background and approach

Sessions are focused on what matters most to the client and aim to build useful skills for coping with difficult feelings and situations. John adapts his style to each person, combining different methods rather than relying on a single approach.

His background includes extensive work with people affected by trauma, bereavement and abuse, as well as those managing chronic stress or addictive behaviours. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking and on acceptance principles to help people live alongside painful feelings. Attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas inform how he explores relationships and connection.

Clients can expect an approachable, steady presence in sessions and a focus on practical steps between meetings. John aims to strengthen coping, improve communication and support people through major life transitions. He offers therapy to English-speaking clients across different locations, including international clients, using a range of online formats to suit individual needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

John commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being pushed around by them, and it can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how past connections shape current trust and closeness issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, offering empathic listening and support so clients can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then shape sessions around those needs. This collaborative process makes sure methods fit the individual rather than being imposed on them.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and face-to-face conversation, while phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or clients who prefer typed communication. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or travel commitments.
