About John
John Day is an HCPC-registered counsellor with five years of practice in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns and depression. He also supports people facing grief, anger and life changes.
John takes a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. He listens to what is most worrying and then works on clear steps to change thoughts or behaviours that get in the way. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance-based and attachment-informed ideas to shape short-term goals and exercises.
Sessions normally focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical alternatives. That can include simple behavioural experiments, daily routines to reduce stress, and communication exercises for relationship strain. He also uses values-based work to help people choose actions that matter to them when emotions are intense.
John has experience supporting people with issues tied to abandonment, social anxiety, addiction to drugs or alcohol, midlife questions and feelings of emptiness or shame. He works in a direct, conversational way and brings structure to sessions so people can see progress week to week.
People who want concrete tools and short, focused steps tend to find this style useful. To begin, clients follow the site process to match with him, complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set practical goals.
How his approaches translate to online work
John uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in clear, practical ways. CBT here means noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to see what helps reduce stress or anxiety. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and practising actions that align with those values even when feelings are strong.He also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships affect current reactions and communication. That can be useful when relationship problems, abandonment fears or intimacy issues come up. Finding the best mix of methods is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with the client to decide which approach fits their goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. When a client and therapist agree on a plan, exercises and homework can be assigned between sessions so progress continues outside meeting times.
