About Andrew
Andrew Westcott is a person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works in the United Kingdom and focuses on helping people cope with bereavement, loss and related emotional struggles. He creates a warm, accepting space where the client leads the conversation.
Sessions move at the client’s pace while he stays alongside, offering steady presence and reflection rather than direct questioning. Much of his work covers stress, anxiety and depression, and he often supports people dealing with trauma, grief and relationship difficulties.
How Andrew works
He also addresses anger, low self-esteem and major life changes that make day-to-day living harder. Andrew pays attention to areas such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and caregiver strain. He also helps people facing infidelity, communication breakdown, guilt, shame and feelings of emptiness.
His ten-plus years of experience inform a gentle, non-directive style. Rather than giving solutions, he helps people notice what matters to them and begin to find their own answers. That approach can suit those who want someone to listen deeply and reflect back what they are discovering.
Sessions use a format determined by the client’s needs, with options across video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. People can choose the way that fits their life and rhythm of talking.

Online support options
Person-centred support through online therapy
Person-centred Therapy puts the client at the heart of the process. The counsellor listens with empathy, reflects what the client shares, and follows the client’s pace. This approach helps when people are working through grief, loss, low self-esteem or relationship concerns.That non-directive style means sessions are shaped by what the client needs to talk about. The counsellor accompanies the person rather than directing them, which suits people who want time and space to find their own answers. Together they will review what works and adjust the way they meet if needed.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find typing easier than speaking.
These options offer flexibility to fit busy lives, different energy levels and practical needs. The therapist will discuss which format best supports the client’s goals and practical circumstances, and can adapt over time as needs change.
