About Andrew
Andrew Wood offers counselling, coaching and psychotherapy to adult clients. He focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, stress and addictions. Andrew aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly about what is troubling them and make clear steps towards change.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations aim to help people understand patterns, try small changes and build more helpful routines. He uses approaches that fit each person rather than one fixed method, so sessions are shaped around individual needs and goals.
Background and approach
Andrew trained to a postgraduate level and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy or BACP. He has seven years of clinical experience working in services such as Mind, Relate and NHS Trusts, and has held management roles in therapy services and workplace mental health provision.
His work takes a broad view of difficulties, recognising how mental, physical and social pressures interact. People can expect a mix of listening, practical problem solving and collaborative planning during appointments. Andrew also offers clinical supervision to other professionals.
Sessions can address daily stresses, parenting strains, career uncertainty, sleep problems, trauma and long-term health challenges. He supports people to set realistic goals and to build steady progress over time.

Approaches Andrew lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and practical steps rather than digging into every past detail. This approach suits people who want quick, goal-directed work for issues like stress, sleep or relationship habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is done together so the plan can change if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for quick updates, brief coaching or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments, while keeping continuity of care when someone cannot attend in person.
