About John
John Andrews offers client-centred counselling that focuses on what matters to each person. He creates a calm, non-judgemental space and encourages people to speak at their own pace. John uses empathy and honesty to help people feel heard and seen.
He combines client-centred principles with methods drawn from cognitive behavioural and existential approaches. That means sessions can include talking through current thoughts and behaviours, noticing patterns that cause distress, and looking at life meaning and values.
Background and approach
He also brings elements of Jungian thinking and mindfulness where they help a person notice feelings and inner stories. John has four years of practice and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. He uses that background to offer practical, down-to-earth support rather than jargon.
People often work on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems and addictions. His work also covers areas like relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. He can help with career stress, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes.
Additional focus areas include ADHD, attachment issues and body image concerns. Sessions can involve short-term action plans or longer conversations aimed at deeper understanding. John aims to help people notice what gets in the way, practise new ways of responding, and build on their own strengths.
He works with people by phone, video, chat or messaging depending on what suits them.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways to combine approaches. This is a collaborative process and methods can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, chat can be useful for quicker check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress and understanding.
