About Andy
He listens for the patterns that link current difficulties to past events. Sessions look at what keeps problems going and what might help change them. This can include talking about relationships, separation, addiction, chronic illness, or worries about ageing.
Andy uses an integrative approach, adapting methods to the individual rather than following one fixed model. Two of the approaches he draws on are client-centred work and psychodynamic thinking, which he combines to suit a person’s needs. He aims to be flexible about the length and focus of therapy, offering both short and longer-term work.
Before training as a counsellor he spent 20 years working with people from many backgrounds on behaviour change, emotional regulation and understanding thoughts and feelings. This background informs his practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.
He keeps up with professional development, attends supervision and holds an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau check. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom, and international clients are not accepted.

How client-centred and psychodynamic work translate online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so a person can find their own answers, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past experiences and how they affect current feelings and choices. This approach can help with long-standing relationship patterns, attachment concerns and issues linked to loss or abandonment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Andy will discuss options with each person and agree what to try first. This is a collaborative process that adapts as goals and understanding evolve.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or mobility limits. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time, helping to keep therapy part of a busy life.
