About John
John Andrews is a counsellor who works from a humanistic, client-centred stance. He offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what keeps them awake, overwhelmed or stuck. He aims to be calm and curious in sessions and to help people make small changes that improve daily life.
John uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. He draws on client-centred listening to build trust and on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and routines. He also brings in existential and Jungian ideas to help people deepen their sense of meaning and identity.
Common issues he supports include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and sleeping problems. He also works with addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, parenting strain, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Additional interests include attachment and adoption-related matters, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and intimacy-related concerns.
John has four years of practice and holds BACP registration from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are conducted in English.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches that guide online work
John draws on client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy as core guides in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship so people can speak openly about sleep, stress and feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then tries practical changes to routines and thinking that can improve sleeping and daytime coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches collaboratively. It is common to blend different methods as needs evolve rather than stick to a single label.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support steady work on sleep routines and thought patterns from wherever sessions are scheduled, helping people carry changes into everyday life.
