John Andrews , BACP

John Andrews offers a warm, non-judgmental space where people are invited to explore their thoughts, feelings, and life experiences at a pace that feels right for them. Grounded in humanistic principles, his approach rests on the belief that most people have an innate capacity for growth and self-understanding when met with empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. He holds BACP, a professional credential from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects his commitment to recognized standards of practice.

Alongside a humanistic stance, John draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences and early relationships can shape patterns that appear in the present. Through thoughtful, compassionate exploration he helps clients surface unconscious influences and recurring themes, enabling deeper insight and a clearer sense of personal meaning.

The therapeutic relationship is central to his work - a collaborative space built on trust where clients can encounter themselves more fully. Whether someone is dealing with anxiety, loss, relationship difficulties, feeling stuck, or other life stresses, he accompanies them with curiosity, respect, and care. The aim is not only to ease distress but to support a fuller understanding of who someone is, so they can live with greater freedom and alignment with their authentic self.

Approaches in online therapy and what they offer

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment in which the individual leads the pace and content of sessions. This approach helps when someone needs a space to explore identity, self-worth, and personal goals while being met with empathy and acceptance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then practicing alternative ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for problems such as anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with sleep or stress management.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It can be helpful for chronic stress, rumination, and building resilience to life’s challenges.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. John Andrews works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then shapes the therapeutic path together so the methods used fit the individual’s circumstances.

Online therapy with this practice can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes, allowing therapists and clients to work together in ways that suit the client’s daily life.
