About Andrew
Andrew Clarke is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has five years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, anger and depression.
He works in a straightforward, talk-based way and treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on what matters now - reducing distress, managing strong feelings and dealing with changes in life circumstances.
Andrew uses a mix of approaches drawn from attachment-based work, client-centred practice and emotionally focused ideas. That means he pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and looks for practical ways to change patterns that cause pain. He also draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused tools when useful.
He aims to help clients notice patterns from the past that keep repeating now, and to try different ways of relating and coping. Work can include talking through difficult memories, practising new ways of communicating and testing small changes between sessions.
Andrew holds a degree in counselling and also works as a counselling supervisor. His BACP membership is listed above and he offers sessions to people based in the United Kingdom who speak English.

How his approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and responses. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in how someone connects or withdraws from others and to practise new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says. In an online session this often means allowing space to talk through current difficulties and to clarify goals without pressure.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That way the plan can change if something is not helping.
The site biography does not specify session formats, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and phone sessions when lower bandwidth is needed. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help sessions fit into everyday life.
