About John

John Andrews is a counsellor who creates a warm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters to them. He works in a humanistic, client-centred way and believes people can grow when met with empathy and authenticity. John uses plain language and steady support so conversations feel manageable even when they cover hard things.

He also draws on psychodynamic ideas, which means he pays attention to how past experiences and early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions often look at recurring reactions and the stories people tell themselves. This can help someone spot hidden patterns and make different choices in daily life.

John combines practical tools with reflective listening. He may use cognitive behavioural ideas to help with anxious thoughts or habits, and mindfulness techniques to build calm and focus. The aim is to bring together understanding and small, do-able steps that fit everyday life.

With four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), he supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression and relationship strain. He also works with issues such as grief, trauma, codependency and ADHD concerns.

Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. To start, people use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on helping a person speak freely while the counsellor listens with empathy and respect. This approach supports people who want a steady, accepting space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It tends to involve practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping day to day.

Finding the right approach is often part of the first few sessions. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals, combining listening, reflection and practical steps as needed. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.

Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day. It also lets people try different ways of working and see what helps most while keeping therapy manageable alongside everyday routines.
