About John
John Goodrick is a therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has ten years of practical experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety and low mood. John aims to be approachable and straightforward, so conversations are easy to follow and never patronising.
John listens to what matters to each person and helps them make sense of where they are in life. He draws on years working in mental health and a Diploma in therapeutic counselling to guide sessions.
Background and approach
His background also includes a BSc (Hons) in Sociology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Careers Guidance, which help him understand social and work pressures. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. John supports people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, relationship strain, grief and sleep problems.
He also works with mood disorders, panic attacks, ADHD-related difficulties and body image worries. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and decisions. John helps clients set realistic short-term goals and build practical coping skills.
He encourages honest conversation and gently challenges unhelpful patterns. John accepts international clients and offers remote work. He uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online access
John draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear thinking and practical change. One approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and panic by identifying triggers and practising step-by-step coping strategies. Another approach concentrates on mood and motivation by breaking problems into small tasks and building routines that support better sleep and mood regulation.Choosing the right way of working is a shared process. The therapist will talk through options, try approaches that fit the person's goals, and adapt methods as progress is made. This collaborative style helps clients find what feels most useful for them.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or want more frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping a consistent course of support.
