About Andrew

Andrew Westcott is a person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy. His practice is centred on supporting people who are experiencing bereavement and loss and he offers a calm, accepting presence for those navigating grief.

Sessions are guided by the client, with Andrew creating an environment where each person chooses what they need to explore and moves at a pace that feels right. He does not rely on direct questioning; instead he listens and reflects to help clients work through worries and concerns and gradually uncover answers to the issues that interfere with everyday life.

The process can be painful or frustrating at times, and Andrew remains alongside clients throughout that journey. With ongoing support and the individual's perseverance, he aims to help people begin to find insight and make sense of long overdue questions related to loss and change.

Person-centred approaches for online bereavement support

Client-centred therapy places the person seeking help at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and non-directive support so clients lead the pace and focus of each session. This approach helps people who are coping with grief, loss, low mood, or life changes by creating space to explore feelings and discover personal insights without pressure.

Alongside person-centred work, Andrew focuses on bereavement-informed counselling that recognises the particular nature of loss and mourning. This emphasis allows conversations to stay attuned to the complexities of grief while allowing clients to process painful or confusing emotions in ways that feel manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. Andrew and the client work together to identify which methods best match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, with adjustments made as therapy progresses.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility, making it easier to arrange regular sessions around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals and therapists can provide consistent support through these formats, helping clients access care when and where it fits their life.
