About Andrew
Andrew Watson is a counsellor with 14 years of experience who takes a person-centred approach to therapy. He focuses on creating a calm and respectful space where people can talk things through and begin to find clearer ways forward. Andrew uses straightforward language and practical steps so sessions feel useful from the start.
He works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and helps those struggling with addiction and eating concerns.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with grief, self-esteem, anger and life changes. Other areas of focus include relationship difficulties, parenting strain, ADHD and career questions. Andrew blends Client-Centred Therapy with mindfulness techniques.
That means he listens without judgement and helps people notice thoughts and feelings in the moment. He uses simple exercises and practical strategies to help manage strong emotions and everyday challenges. When working on addiction he talks through habitual behaviour and the triggers that sustain it.
He helps people weigh options and make practical changes that fit their life. Sessions aim to build skills people can use between meetings, not just discussion during them. Sessions are offered in English and take place with professionals registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Andrew practises from the United Kingdom and brings a calm, down-to-earth style to each meeting.

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention to the present moment through simple practices. These techniques can help with anxiety, stress, cravings in addiction and managing difficult emotions in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging works for brief reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or busy schedules and to keep continuity when life is unpredictable.
