About Andrew
Andrew Armstrong is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, family and parenting concerns, anger and coping with life changes.
Andrew uses straightforward conversation to help people notice what matters to them. He treats clients as the person who knows their life best and offers practical ways to handle difficult feelings and situations. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change now, not on labels.
He draws on a mix of approaches, including acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based perspectives and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix helps with painful memories, patterns in relationships and day-to-day reactions that cause stress or shame. Andrew also uses emotion-focused ideas when relationship feelings are central.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in relationships may find the sessions useful for learning small, practical shifts. He can talk through codependency patterns alongside related concerns such as abandonment, control issues and family of origin problems.
Andrew describes his role as supportive and direct. He offers clear steps to try between sessions and checks in on what works. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on recognising difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on choosing actions that match personal values. It suits people wanting clearer direction when anxiety, grief or low mood make decisions harder.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they show up now. It can help people who repeatedly lose themselves in relationships or struggle with trust and abandonment fears.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. That choice can change as the sessions proceed and new priorities emerge.
Details about session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit more easily around work and family commitments, allow quieter surroundings, or make shorter check-ins possible when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements and help arrange a first appointment that fits into a clients routine.
