About John

John Lennox is a counsellor with 14 years of experience who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and sleep problems. He also supports clients facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addictive behaviours. John works in English and sees clients in the United Kingdom and from other countries.

He prefers a straightforward, practical way of working. Sessions begin by looking at what is most pressing and what the person wants to change. He uses clear tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and other methods to try ideas in real life. Conversations focus on small steps that can make daily life feel easier.

John draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred techniques. He aims to help people understand patterns, build stronger coping habits and reconnect with what matters to them. He explains therapies simply and adapts them to each person.

He holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. This reflects his professional standing in the United Kingdom. John has worked in varied settings and with many kinds of personal difficulties over the years.

People often come to him when sleep and rest have become a problem alongside anxiety or mood issues. He will talk through daily routines, thinking patterns and practical changes that can support better sleep while also addressing the wider issue behind poor rest.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and sleep problems by encouraging small changes in daily routines. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours and testing new ways of coping. CBT often includes practical exercises you can try between sessions to improve mood and rest. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, relationship struggles and feelings of safety. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what matters to them and try methods that fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adapted over time based on what helps. Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery modes. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use therapeutic tools at home and try behaviour changes between meetings while keeping continuity with the therapist.
