Justin Andrews helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and depression. He supports those coping with life changes, relationship and family tensions, trauma and intimacy issues. He also works with sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem and career concerns.

Justin has particular experience with ADHD and related conditions such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and with long-term health challenges including cancer and chronic pain. Justin is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Background and approach

He brings 14 years of counselling practice alongside many more years working in social care settings. That background includes mental health, neurodiversity, criminal justice and work with young people. He draws on this range to understand practical pressures as well as emotional pain.

His style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most, then working together to try simple, practical steps. He uses approaches such as client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally focused work, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies depending on the issue.

Justin also teaches counselling and mindfulness, and has run meditation and Buddhist-informed classes in local prisons. He continues a personal practice of meditation and study, which shapes how he works in sessions. That lived experience informs a calm, steady manner in conversations about difficult topics.

Sessions are offered across a range of online formats and in the United Kingdom. He accepts international clients and communicates in English. People who want clear, calm support for real-life problems may find his approach helpful.

How Justin’s Approaches Work Online

Justin uses client-centred therapy to focus on what matters to the person in front of him. That approach means sessions begin with open listening and follow the client’s pace, helping people feel heard and steering the work by their goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and build practical skills to change reactions and behaviours; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Justin will talk through options and test what fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. He treats the choice as a collaborative decision and adjusts the methods as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions can be held by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which adds flexibility for busy lives. Video calls are useful for a full conversational session, phone can suit a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is low, and text or live chat can fit quick updates or times when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel while keeping the therapeutic focus.
