About John
John Day welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression and who want practical ways to feel steadier. He introduces calm, straightforward conversation and helps clients sort out addictive behaviours and relationship struggles. John keeps language simple and meets people where they are.
John uses brief, focused sessions to identify what matters most to each person. He draws on approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, strengthen important relationships, and clarify life purpose.
Background and approach
Together he and the client make a plan that fits real life. He has five years of professional experience and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. That registration is noted as HCPC.
John’s background includes work with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, and those managing anger or intimacy-related difficulty. Sessions are shaped around everyday problems like communication breakdowns, feelings of emptiness, and coping with midlife changes. He also works with concerns linked to autism and Asperger syndrome, social anxiety, and substance misuse.
The aim is to find small, manageable steps that lead to steadier days. John keeps the process collaborative. He listens first, then offers practical techniques such as thought work and values-led actions.
Clear goals and short-term tasks help people track progress and build confidence.

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
Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods as goals change. The process is collaborative so clients help pick techniques and trial what fits their needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video lets people use visual cues and more depth, phone works well when a quieter line or lower bandwidth is needed, live chat can be a shorter check-in option and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier.
