About Andrew
Andrew Westcott uses a person-centred approach to counselling. He offers calm, steady support so people can talk through loss, anxiety, stress and relationship pain in their own words. Sessions are shaped around each person’s pace and priorities, with Andrew alongside rather than directing the conversation.
He has 11 years of practice and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Much of his work has involved bereavement and grief, so he understands the slow, messy process of loss and the exhaustion it can bring.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with depression, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Andrew helps people untangle relationship issues such as communication problems, commitment worries and infidelity. He also works with concerns connected to attachment, abandonment and fatherhood issues.
Practical life changes and the stresses of caregiving are part of his day-to-day work too. His approach avoids direct questioning and instead offers reflections and listening that help someone find their own answers. Sessions can feel gentle and patient, but they are aimed at helping people notice what gets in the way of daily life and testing out new ways of coping.
Andrew offers therapy in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can choose the format that fits their life and energy levels.

Online support
The collaborative part of therapy is important. Andrew will help clients explore which methods suit their needs and goals. Together they decide how to shape sessions and try different ways of working if needed, with the client’s preferences guiding the process.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls bring face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, live chat allows shorter focused check-ins and messaging supports ongoing contact at quieter times. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving or mobility limits while still working with registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
