About Justin

Justin Andrews offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, addiction and grief. He works with people facing depression, relationship and family challenges, anger, low self esteem and life changes. He also helps with parenting strains, career questions and the practical effects of ADHD. Justin is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of counselling experience and a long background in social care.

Justin uses clear, straightforward talking and practical strategies in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness practices to develop calm and focus. Emotionally-Focused approaches help people improve how they relate to themselves and others. He keeps the work grounded and aims for steps clients can try between meetings.

Before counselling Justin worked for many years across social care in the United Kingdom. That experience included mental health services, support for people with learning differences, work in criminal justice, and roles with young people. He also teaches counselling and leads meditation and mindfulness groups in local settings.

Justin says personal practice matters to him and he continues his own mindfulness and meditation work. He aims to help people learn about themselves, manage symptoms like sleeplessness, and find ways to make daily life more manageable and meaningful. Sessions are offered in English and he works with international clients as needed.

How Justin’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens attentively, reflects what is said and helps people find their own direction, which suits issues like grief, low self esteem and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and shift patterns in relationships and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy-related problems and family concerns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It can allow for shorter check-ins, for not needing travel time and for maintaining continuity when circumstances change. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions.
