About John

John Andrews is a counsellor who offers a warm, non-judgemental space for men exploring stress, anxiety, addiction and other challenges. He uses a human-centred approach that puts the person’s experience first. Sessions are paced to suit the individual and focused on practical steps they can take between meetings.

He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create acceptance and understanding in the room. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. Mindfulness tools are used to build awareness and reduce reactivity in day-to-day life.

John has four years of professional experience. During that time he has supported people working through grief, trauma, issues with intimacy, self-esteem difficulties and career stress. He also helps people who face ADHD, chronic illness, caregiver strain and complex co-morbidity concerns.

Clients can expect conversations that look at how past experiences shape current patterns. John may invite gentle reflection on relationships and early influences to increase insight and choice. He aims to balance talking through problems with practical, manageable steps.

He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Before booking, users should confirm current session formats and scheduling details.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

John uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on listening, acceptance and the person’s own priorities. This approach helps people feel understood and can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and general stress.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT offers straightforward tools and experiments clients can try between sessions to tackle anxiety, depression and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree which methods to try. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as needed.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow check-ins around work or caregiving schedules. It can also allow shorter conversations when less time is available and options that avoid needing to be on camera if that helps concentration or comfort.
