About Andy
He keeps sessions simple and grounded. Andy explores what is happening now alongside relevant past experiences to help people notice patterns in thinking and behaviour. He works alongside each person to build clearer understanding and practical steps they can try between sessions.
His practice draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas, adapting the mix to suit each person's needs. That means sessions focus on the person in front of him, with attention to underlying feelings and relationship patterns that shape daily life.
Andy has worked extensively with people facing substance use, emotional regulation struggles and behaviour change before training as a counsellor, and he brings that experience into his therapeutic work. He has particular experience with issues such as chronic pain, illness and disability, caregiver stress, body image, attachment and abandonment concerns.
He offers both short and long term counselling for adults and for young people. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and practical arrangements are made after a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises the person's own experience and aims to give them space to talk while the counsellor listens and reflects. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns because it centres the client's priorities and pace.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences influence present feelings and patterns. It can help people who notice repeating relationship difficulties, attachment worries or long-standing emotional patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will work with each person to decide which ideas to use and will adapt the way they work as needs and goals become clearer. That shared planning helps sessions stay practical and relevant.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. Discussing preferences during the matching questionnaire will help shape sessions to fit daily life.
