About John
John Andrews offers a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. He creates a calm, respectful space where people can speak honestly and at their own speed. He draws on empathy and genuine presence to help clients feel heard and understood.
He combines Client-Centred Therapy with cognitive tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This blend helps address immediate worries like anxiety or sleeping problems while also looking at patterns that keep problems coming back.
How John works
He also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and stay grounded in difficult moments. John works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and grief. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, self-esteem issues, parenting stresses, and career transitions.
Additional focus areas include trauma and abuse, ADHD, chronic illness and caregiving stress, body image, and issues related to adoption and abandonment. With four years of practice, John brings practical experience rather than jargon. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.
Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients who prefer remote work. Therapy sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Many people find this flexibility helps them fit therapy around work and family life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a non-judgemental, empathic space where the person leads the pace and topics of sessions. Online sessions keep that same emphasis so the client can speak openly and be listened to without pressure.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In remote sessions the therapist and client can review worksheets, set small experiments, and track progress between meetings to reduce anxiety or manage sleeping and mood issues.
Mindfulness Therapy helps people pay attention to the present moment and manage stress. Simple breathing or grounding exercises can be practised together during a video call or reinforced through short written prompts in messaging sessions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques over time. Clients and the therapist check in regularly to see what is helping and adjust the plan together.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared materials. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or need more flexible timing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
