About Andrew
Andrew combines different therapeutic methods to tailor support to each person - mixing approaches to suit individual needs rather than following a single model. He takes a holistic view that recognises psychological, physical, spiritual, social and environmental factors are interconnected, and that difficulties in one area of life can influence others. This perspective guides practical work on insight, coping strategies and realistic steps toward positive change.
He holds an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and Relate's Certificate in Relational Counselling. He is a Registered and Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), an Accredited Member of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists, a member of the International Coaching Federation and a qualified clinical supervisor.
Andrew has worked with organisations including Mind, Relate, the Dove Service and two NHS Trusts, and has held leadership roles such as Counselling Service Manager for the NHS Talking Therapies service in Oxfordshire, Clinical Director at Care first - an employee assistance provider, Mental Health Service Delivery Manager at IPRS Health Ltd., and Mental Health Clinical Lead at Bupa. He also serves on the BACP Workplace Division Executive and has supported clients with a wide range of personal and work-related issues.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Andrew uses client-centered and systemic approaches alongside solution-focused techniques to tailor online support to individual needs. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work - the therapist listens empathically and helps clients explore their values, feelings and goals, which can be useful for self-esteem, anxiety and life transitions. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-oriented and brief, concentrating on strengths and practical steps to move forward, often supporting career concerns, stress and specific relationship issues. Systemic Therapy looks at patterns within relationships and family systems, helping to identify communication dynamics and recurring cycles that affect interpersonal problems and family stress.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrew works with clients to assess their needs, goals and preferences and adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective. This shared planning helps shape the focus and pace of therapy.
The online format - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - offers flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life. These options make it possible to keep continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations and select the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these modalities to deliver consistent therapeutic support across a wide range of concerns.
