Andrew Armstrong, BACP

Andrew Armstrong is a BACP-credentialed therapist based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience supporting people through a range of emotional and relational challenges. He works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, compassion fatigue, and difficulties in relationships, family life and parenting, offering steady, empathetic support tailored to each person’s circumstances.

Andrew also addresses issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, body image concerns, codependency, commitment and control challenges, communication problems, dependent personality traits, and the impacts of divorce or separation. He supports work around family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and the sense of emptiness that sometimes follows life transitions.

Holding membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - Andrew believes clients are the experts on their own lives and that therapy is a collaborative process. He aims to create a supportive space to help people explore their values, build coping strategies and make meaningful changes within the scope of his practice and training.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Andrew draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build practical skills to act in line with what matters to them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relational patterns and how they shape current relationships and emotional responses - it is helpful for those struggling with abandonment, trust, intimacy and family dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Andrew treats the process as collaborative - he will listen to each person’s goals, preferences and circumstances, and discuss which methods or combination of methods are likely to be most helpful for their situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These remote options make it possible to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, manage transportation or mobility constraints, and access consistent support from a licensed professional from a familiar setting.
