Background and approach

Andrew aims to make sessions clear and manageable so progress feels realistic. Andrew has a BA and a Master of Arts, and he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He draws on therapy methods that help people notice thoughts, accept difficult feelings and act in line with their values.

He also works with issues like addiction, anger and relationship difficulties. When someone contacts him he will listen first and agree simple next steps. Small, regular changes are often more helpful than big shifts.

He can work by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and are offered in English. Andrew aims to create a supportive space where people can talk honestly and find ways to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and difficulty making changes in life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour and testing new ways of responding. It often suits worries, sleeping problems and mood issues. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest methods that match your situation. Together you will try approaches and adjust them based on what feels most helpful and doable for you.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let you talk face to face from another location. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need to fit therapy into busy routines. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, caring duties or travel.
