About John

John Lennox is a counsellor who focuses on men’s wellbeing and common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. He also helps people cope with trauma, grief, relationship concerns, addictions and major life changes. He presents as approachable and straightforward, aiming to make early contact easy for someone who is worried or unsure about therapy.

With 14 years of experience and BACP accreditation, he brings a broad clinical background to sessions. He uses practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance-focused work. He also draws on attachment and emotionally focused ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and feelings.

Sessions are client-centred in tone, with an emphasis on clear goals and everyday strategies. Conversations tend to focus on what matters right now and on small steps that fit daily life. He works to build a reliable working relationship so people feel able to try new ways of coping.

His practice also addresses specific concerns such as body image, intimacy and sexual expression, caregiving stress, ageing issues and work-related pressures. He offers support around parenting strain, communication problems and the effects of loss and bereavement.

People can expect a direct but empathetic style and a mix of talking, practical tasks and reflective work. He encourages collaborative planning so therapy matches each person’s needs and pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and for deciding what matters in life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behaviour and trying practical experiments to change them. CBT often helps with worry, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and feelings, which can support work on intimacy and relationship struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that fit personal needs and goals. That means discussing what feels helpful, trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use visual or written tools during sessions and continue practical tasks between meetings.
