About John
John Andrews is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship issues, grief, and concerns around guilt and shame. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
John uses an approachable, person-focused way of working. He listens to what matters to the client and helps people put words to difficult feelings. In practical sessions he looks at patterns that keep problems going and helps people notice small changes they can try between meetings.
His practice draws on client-centred ideas alongside cognitive approaches and reflective work influenced by Jungian and existential thinking. That means some sessions focus on present-day coping and practical steps, while others look at life meaning, earlier relationships, and recurring themes that affect mood and self-view.
For people carrying shame about choices, identity, or past events, John offers calm conversation and practical tools to manage upsetting thoughts. He also works with parents and carers on stress linked to parenting, grief, chronic illness, or role strain. Sessions can include mindfulness exercises and motivational conversation where that fits the client's goals.
Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting via the See online therapy options button. This process helps match practical needs with the style of work John offers.
How his approaches shape online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's perspective, with the counsellor offering attentive listening and reflection to help clarify feelings and choices. It helps when someone needs space to speak without being led and wants practical, present-focused support.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep problems and managing overpowering guilt or shame by testing and adjusting negative thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which elements to use, balancing practical steps, reflective exploration, and mindfulness based on the client's needs and preferences. This collaborative planning can change as work progresses.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time so clients can use that time for a quick reflective break. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises such as mindfulness practices or CBT worksheets to suit an online meeting and daily life routines.
