About Andrew
Andrew Westcott is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He draws on eleven years of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety and grief. He offers a calm, accepting presence so clients can set the pace and topics for each session.
He focuses on bereavement and loss while also helping with relationship strains, trauma and abuse, depression and anger. He works with people who struggle with self-esteem, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Other areas he addresses include attachment worries, caregiver stress, commitment concerns and communication problems. Andrew uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client in charge of the session. He listens without directing the conversation and reflects back what he hears.
This approach suits people who need time to find their own words and meaning. Sessions are shaped around what each individual brings. He will stay alongside the client as they talk through painful memories, confusing feelings or decisions about the future.
The pace is guided by the client so progress can feel manageable rather than rushed. People who choose this approach often want a respectful, steady listener rather than a directive teacher. Andrew aims to create space for honest conversation and gradual insight.
His background with loss and bereavement informs a gentle style that supports longer, sometimes difficult emotional work.
Person-centred counselling adapted for online care
Person-centred therapy focuses on a warm, accepting relationship where the client decides what to talk about and at what pace. It helps when someone is dealing with loss, anxiety, low self-esteem or complex feelings that need time to surface. The counsellor listens, mirrors back what they hear and offers a steady presence rather than giving instructions.Andrew uses this client-led way of working to help people who are coping with bereavement, relationship struggles, trauma and day-to-day stress. Choosing the right approach is part of the work and he will collaborate with each person to find what fits their needs and goals. That means trying different ways of talking and checking in about what is helpful as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is wanted. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit quick reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while maintaining continuity of support.
