Andrew Clarke, BACP

Andrew Clarke is a United Kingdom-based counsellor with five years of professional experience who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger and depression. He holds a degree in counselling and is also a practising counselling supervisor. He is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his commitment to recognised professional standards.

He approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be used to meet and overcome current challenges. Andrew has experience supporting people as they cope with life changes and guiding them toward more fulfilling, manageable ways of living. He aims to create a collaborative space where taking the first step toward change is met with respect and practical support.

Andrew offers an empathetic, goal-focused style that balances listening with interventions designed to help clients gain insight and build coping skills. He supports clients through setbacks and progress alike, helping them explore patterns in relationships, manage intense emotions, and develop strategies to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and expectations in close connections. Online work can help people explore attachment patterns that affect trust, intimacy and reactions to separation or loss. Client-Centered Therapy is a warm, non-directive approach that emphasizes empathy, active listening and respect for the client’s own perspective; delivered remotely, it supports clients in finding their own solutions to stress, life changes and emotional difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps clients identify and work with core emotions that drive relational patterns and distress; in online sessions it can be used to address relationship challenges, anger, panic and patterns of disconnection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrew will work with clients to understand their needs, goals and preferences and to tailor therapeutic methods accordingly, adjusting pace and focus as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or when in-person meetings are not possible. These formats allow registered professionals to provide consistent support, help maintain continuity of care, and expand access to therapeutic work for people managing location, mobility or scheduling constraints.
