About John
Counsellor John Andrews is a BACP member with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and self-esteem concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and several other life challenges. Sessions address practical problems and emotional patterns that make daily life harder.
John uses client-centred ideas alongside cognitive and existential approaches. He focuses on what a person brings to the room now, and on how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. He also pays attention to meaning, personal values and recurring themes from past experience.
In sessions he listens for patterns that link current difficulties to earlier relationships and life events. Conversations include straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to manage anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness-based ideas may be used to help with stress and sleeping problems.
The counsellor can also discuss deeper, exploratory work that looks at long-standing issues, attachment patterns and identity. This can be useful for people dealing with complex family histories, abandonment or adoption concerns, and longer-term grief or trauma.
Practical matters are part of the work. He supports people with day-to-day coping, career choices, parenting strain, and challenges linked to chronic illness or caregiving. International clients may be accepted and sessions are carried out in English.
How his approaches shape online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says right now. It aims to let people feel heard, clarify what matters to them, and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical steps to reduce anxiety and low mood. Existential Therapy examines questions of meaning, choice and responsibility when life changes or losses leave someone feeling stuck.Working out which approach fits best is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and the problems a person brings. Together they decide whether to use short-term CBT methods, mindfulness tools, or more exploratory work on life patterns and meaning.
