About Andy
Sessions focus on what matters now while also looking at past patterns that shape current feelings. He listens for repeated habits in thinking and relating, then helps clients notice different choices. Conversations are practical and reflective, aimed at clearer understanding rather than labels.
Andy uses ideas from client-centred work to keep the pace and focus led by the person in the room. He also draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at how earlier experiences influence present behaviour and relationships. Those two approaches are blended to suit each person’s needs rather than following a fixed formula.
Before training as a counsellor he spent two decades working with people from varied backgrounds, including supporting behaviour change, emotional regulation and recovery from substance use. That background informs a pragmatic approach to everyday problems and longer-term patterns alike.
He offers both short and longer-term counselling for adults and young people, and keeps up professional development and supervision as part of his BACP membership. People considering therapy are encouraged to start with a short conversation to see if the approach feels right for them.
How Andy's approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor follows what the person brings, offering empathic listening, reflection and support to help people clarify feelings and make decisions. This approach often suits concerns like anxiety, stress and low self-esteem.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current patterns. It helps people spot repeated ways of relating and feeling, which can be useful for relationship issues, grief and long-standing emotional patterns. Sessions use reflection to build new understanding over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful. That ongoing conversation helps tailor the work to the client's needs and preferences.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions around work or family life and fewer journeys to appointments.
