About Andrew
Andrew Wood is a counsellor and coach who helps people navigate relationship problems, grief, career shifts, stress, anxiety, addictions and codependency. He sees individuals and couples and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Andrew draws on seven years of experience and works from a welcoming, non-judgemental stance.
He offers a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them. He focuses on clearer thinking, manageable steps and better day-to-day coping rather than jargon. Conversations look at feelings, behaviour and the practical changes someone can try between sessions.
Andrew combines different therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. He uses client-centred listening, solution-focused techniques and systemic ideas about relationships. That mix is tailored in session rather than fixed in advance.
He holds the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential, BACP, and has an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy. His background includes work for charities and NHS services, plus management roles in workplace mental health services.
In practice he pairs talking with short exercises and goal-setting. Sessions often cover communication, boundaries, self-esteem and coping strategies for sleep or stress. Andrew encourages small, realistic changes that add up over time.
People who choose him can expect direct listening, collaborative planning and gentle challenge when needed. Before booking, clients should confirm the current session options available.
How Andrew’s approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy centres on attentive listening and making space for the person’s own insights. It helps when someone needs acceptance and time to speak about difficult feelings. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals; it suits people who want clear actions to try between sessions. Systemic Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and interactions to spot how problems are maintained and where change might happen.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods together. That means the plan can change as progress is made or new issues appear.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel. Online work can make it easier to have a shorter check-in during a lunch break or to keep therapy going while juggling family or work commitments.
