How Andrew works
He also completed a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Counselling before working in therapeutic roles. In sessions he focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space. He encourages people to talk about what matters to them and to explore practical steps they can try.
Conversations aim to be straightforward and grounded in what the individual needs right now. Andrew draws on several approaches to match different problems. He uses client-centred methods to follow what the person wants to focus on.
He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and practical patterns. People who come to him for help include those coping with trauma, eating or sleeping difficulties, ADHD, bipolar or depression symptoms, and those struggling with guilt, shame, isolation or financial stress. He works with attachment and communication problems and offers coaching-style support for life purpose and career decisions.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Andrew offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person's lead and building a trusting space to talk. It helps when someone wants to explore feelings and find their own solutions through open dialogue.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches specific techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It suits issues such as anxiety, panic, low mood and problems with sleep or eating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use facial cues and tone while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a lunch break. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier than talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity when travel or location make in-person meetings difficult.
