About Andrew
Andrew Wood helps people who are struggling with relationships, grief, career decisions, stress, anxiety and major life changes. He also supports those facing addiction, sleep problems, parenting strains, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar and depression. His first paragraph sets a clear, approachable tone for parents and adults looking for straightforward help.
Andrew uses counselling, coaching and psychotherapy in a flexible way. He adapts his approach to each person's needs rather than following a single method.
How Andrew works
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on small, achievable steps to reduce immediate pressure. He draws on client-centred work to build understanding and trust. Solution-focused ideas help set clear goals and track progress.
Systemic thinking is used when patterns in relationships or family interactions are relevant to the issue at hand. Andrew holds a BACP credential, which indicates he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has seven years of professional experience in counselling and related roles across health and workplace settings in the United Kingdom.
His background includes work with mental health and relationship organisations, and roles managing therapy services in NHS and employee assistance contexts. That experience informs a down-to-earth, organised style in session, with attention to both practical solutions and deeper understanding. Sessions can include coaching-focused conversations or longer psychotherapeutic work depending on the concern.
The aim is to help people make steady, manageable change and find clearer ways to cope with life's pressures.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for building trust and working through emotions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear goals and identifying small changes that create progress, which can be helpful for stress, career concerns and short-term problems. Systemic Therapy looks at patterns between people and how relationships affect well-being, which can be useful when family dynamics or communication problems matter.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then tailor sessions accordingly. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, ongoing coaching, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other daily responsibilities.
