John Andrews, BACP

John Andrews is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationships and codependency. He also supports people facing trauma, grief, parenting strain, sleep difficulties and career pressure.

John uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person's own perspective central. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual now, and the counsellor follows the person’s lead while offering practical ideas when helpful. He also draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.

When past experiences appear important, John brings in existential and Jungian ideas to look at values, meaning and repeated life patterns. This can help when someone feels stuck because of old stories or confusing relationships. He encourages clear thinking about choices rather than labels or blame.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help with stress, sleep and emotional regulation. These are taught in short, usable ways so people can try them between sessions. Motivational interviewing helps people who want to change habits or reduce substance use by clarifying reasons and small steps.

John describes his role as a collaborator who listens and offers straightforward tools. People who tend to put others first, struggle to set boundaries, or feel defined by another person often come to explore how they might live with more balance. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
