About Andrew
Andrew Lawton-Collins helps people dealing with grief, parenting strain, low self-esteem and major life changes. He writes simply and listens closely so people can say what matters. Andrew uses a straightforward, client-focused style that keeps the person’s experience central to each session.
Andrew takes into account a person’s relationships and social context as part of the work. He does not impose a fixed template. Instead he asks polite, direct questions and follows what the person brings to the session.
Background and approach
He has five years of counselling experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded here as BACP. That experience includes supporting people through grief and those affected by sexual abuse as survivors seeking help. Andrew also supports people facing chronic pain, long-term illness or disability, plus those struggling with guilt, shame or seasonal affective disorder.
He works with young adult issues and practical ways to cope day to day. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs. Together they unpick patterns that hold someone back and try out changes that might help.
The emphasis is on listening, gentle enquiry and collaborative problem solving.

Focus areas and approaches
What Andrew works with
Everything Andrew lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will decide together which techniques to try based on needs, goals and personal preference. This collaborative process means methods are adapted as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering real flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and hold longer sessions, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be a shorter, more immediate check-in or suit someone who prefers writing. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and around busy schedules.
