About John Andrews
John Andrews offers a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic space where individuals are invited to explore thoughts, feelings, and life experiences at their own pace. Rooted in humanistic principles, his approach is based on the belief that people have an innate capacity for growth and self-understanding when met with empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. He combines this humanistic stance with psychodynamic inquiry, attending to how past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns can shape present emotions and behavior.
Through careful, compassionate exploration he helps clients bring greater awareness to what may lie beneath the surface, fostering insight that supports lasting change. The therapeutic relationship itself is central to his work - an evolving space where trust and respect enable deeper self-exploration. John works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, loss, relationship difficulties, feelings of being stuck, and overwhelming stress, and he supports clients toward clearer self-understanding and more fulfilling living.
He holds membership in the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. With this combined orientation toward empathy and depth, John aims not just to reduce immediate distress but also to help people discover a fuller sense of who they are and how they want to move forward.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online sessions
John Andrews works online using approaches that suit different needs and preferences. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-directive stance where the therapist offers empathy and genuine presence so the client can explore and clarify their own feelings and goals - this approach often helps with relationship issues, self-esteem, and general life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill-building; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problematic patterns of coping. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices to help manage emotional reactivity and increase moment-to-moment clarity, which can support sleep difficulties, stress, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. John collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work as understanding deepens. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to meet the unique situation of each person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. This accessibility allows clients to engage from different locations and to choose formats that feel most comfortable while maintaining continuity of care.
