John Andrews, BACP

John Andrews offers a warm, non-judgmental counselling space where people are invited to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at a pace that suits them. Grounded in humanistic principles, his practice is built on the belief that most people have an innate capacity for growth and self-understanding when met with empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard.

He also integrates psychodynamic ideas into his work, exploring how past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns can shape current emotional life. Through careful, compassionate exploration, he helps clients bring greater awareness to what may be hidden beneath the surface, supporting deeper insight and meaningful change.

John values the therapeutic relationship as central to the healing process, cultivating an evolving space of trust and respect where clients can encounter themselves more fully. He supports people facing anxiety, loss, relationship difficulties, and feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed, and walks alongside them with curiosity and care. John holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his commitment to recognised professional standards.

Approaches and Flexible Online Support

John Andrews works from a blend of therapeutic approaches that aim to meet people where they are. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment in which clients lead the pace of exploration and personal growth - it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and general life transitions. Jungian Therapy pays attention to deeper patterns, symbols, and personal narrative, helping people explore how early experiences and internal images influence current feelings and choices, which can be useful for grief, identity concerns, and long-standing emotional patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical ways to attend to thoughts and bodily experience with kindness and clarity, supporting people dealing with anxiety, stress, and difficulties with sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. John collaborates with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the work as understanding grows. This collaborative stance helps shape a personalised plan rather than imposing a single method.

Online work offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and support can continue through live chat or text-based messaging between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or geographic constraints, while allowing ongoing access to licensed professionals and therapists who can guide the process.
