About John

Counsellor John Lennox is a BACP member with 14 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. He helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self‑confidence, bereavement, work‑related concerns and anger. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, parenting strains and LGBT‑related matters.

John draws on a mix of approaches to shape sessions. He uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and acceptance and commitment ideas to focus on values and action. Attachment‑based and emotionally focused ways of working inform how he looks at relationship patterns and emotional responses.

Sessions are conversational and goal‑oriented. He listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical steps to try between meetings. Mindfulness exercises and behavioural experiments are used when they suit the client’s goals.

John has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, including post‑traumatic stress concerns. He also supports those coping with bereavement, major life changes and long‑term stress. Wherever helpful, he integrates different methods rather than relying on a single model.

He describes his practice as client‑centred, aiming to build clear therapeutic aims and small, measurable steps. John accepts international clients and works in English. Prospective clients are asked to check current session options before booking.

How his approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts without fighting them and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress when someone wants practical ways to change what they do rather than only change what they think.

Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. This approach is used to understand recurring problems in close relationships and to develop different ways of responding when emotions run high.

Finding a good fit between approach and client is part of therapy. He will talk with each person about what matters to them and try different methods. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may change as goals become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel and use shorter check‑ins when needed. It also allows work to continue across distances for international clients, with the practical aim of making therapy usable around everyday life.
