About John

John Andrews offers a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic space where people are invited to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences at a comfortable pace. He works from a humanistic perspective that emphasises each person’s capacity for growth and self-understanding when met with empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. This approach aims to create the conditions for clients to feel heard and supported as they navigate change and challenge.

Alongside his humanistic stance, John integrates psychodynamic ideas to consider how past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns can shape present emotional life. By gently exploring these influences, he helps clients bring hidden dynamics into awareness so they can develop deeper insight and more lasting shifts in how they relate to themselves and others. The therapeutic relationship is central to his practice - a collaborative space in which trust and respect allow clients to encounter themselves more fully.

John works with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, loss, relationship struggles, and feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed. He aims not only to reduce immediate distress but also to support a richer understanding of identity and values, helping people live more freely and in greater alignment with who they are. He is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which indicates professional affiliation with the UK counselling community.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

John blends client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to adapt to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on offering empathy, acceptance, and genuine presence so clients can explore feelings at their own pace - it is helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms, which can be particularly useful for anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties. He also draws on mindfulness-based ideas to help people develop present-moment awareness and calmer responses to distressing thoughts and feelings, which supports coping with overwhelm and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and John treats selection of methods as collaborative. He will work with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context and together decide which combination of approaches is likely to be the best fit, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to meet by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging according to what suits them best. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they enable registered professionals to support clients across distances, including international work, while maintaining a consistent, ongoing therapeutic relationship.
