Andrew Wood, BACP

Andrew Wood is an integrative therapist who provides coaching, counselling and psychotherapy to adults, working with both individuals and couples. He welcomes people from all backgrounds regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, religion, gender or disability and aims to create a professional, comfortable space where clients feel able to explore their thoughts and feelings.

Andrew focuses on helping clients gain deeper insight into themselves and their lives, identifying patterns and practical steps that support positive change and improved wellbeing. His integrative approach means he draws on a range of therapeutic methods, tailoring interventions to the specific needs and preferences of each person rather than relying on a single model. He also takes a holistic view, recognising that psychological, physical, spiritual, social and environmental factors interact and that difficulties in one area can affect others.

Andrew holds an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy - a master-level qualification in therapeutic practice - and has Relate's Certificate in Relational Counselling, which focuses on relationship work. He is a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), an accredited member of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists, a member of the International Coaching Federation, and is a qualified clinical supervisor, able to support other practitioners.

He has worked with organisations including Mind, Relate, the Dove Service and two NHS Trusts, and has held leadership roles such as Counselling Service Manager for the NHS Talking Therapies service in Oxfordshire, Clinical Director at Care first, Mental Health Service Delivery Manager at IPRS Health Ltd., and Mental Health Clinical Lead at Bupa. He also serves on the BACP Workplace Division Executive and has experience helping clients with a wide range of personal and work-related issues.
