Background and approach
Sessions are practical and straightforward, aimed at small changes that make daily life easier. He uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with unhelpful thinking patterns and practical coping skills.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people who want to live by their values while managing difficult feelings. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns and past family experience are important. Andrew has supported people with compassion fatigue, feelings of emptiness, body image worries and issues around attachment or abandonment.
He also helps with communication problems, codependency and the emotional fallout from separation or divorce. He tailors the work to the problem the person brings. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat or messaging.
New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions to suit them. Fees vary depending on location and the subscription model in use.
Approaches that suit online talking therapy
Andrew uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT is practical and often focuses on exercises you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people live by their values while learning to accept difficult feelings. ACT can be useful when worry and avoidance get in the way of things that matter.He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy when past relationship patterns affect present life. This approach looks at how early attachments shape current reactions and helps people form healthier ways of relating. Together these approaches give a mix of problem-solving tools, values work and relational understanding.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approaches match your goals and preferences. That might mean using CBT techniques one week and ACT or attachment ideas the next, depending on what is most helpful.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to make sessions easier to fit into life. Video is good for fuller conversations, phone can work when bandwidth is low, and messaging suits short check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, family and day-to-day commitments.
