About John
John Andrews is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship concerns, and also helps with grief, trauma, parenting and work-related strain.
He uses plain conversations alongside structured techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try practical ways of responding differently. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centred and existential ideas to shape sessions.
John pays attention to both what is happening now and the history that affects it. He may look at past relationships and recurring patterns, and also focus on small changes that make daily life easier. Mindfulness exercises and reflective discussion are sometimes used to help with mood and sleep.
People seek him out for a wide range of issues including intimacy-related problems, anger, ADHD, bipolar mood management, chronic illness, body image and career concerns. He also has additional focus on adoption and foster care, attachment and codependency related problems.
Sessions are conducted in English and John accepts international clients. The service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, with fees that vary by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online work
John commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred methods online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical alternatives, which helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep and coping strategies. Client-centred work emphasizes listening and reflecting to help people make sense of feelings and priorities, useful for relationship and grief issues.He also draws on existential ideas to discuss meaning, values and life changes. That approach can help when someone is facing a major transition, career questions or questions about identity. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist and client review what feels most useful and adjust the work as goals evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera on days when that helps them engage.
