Client-Centered Support and Online Therapy

Andrew practices client-centered therapy, a non-directive approach that prioritises the client’s own perspective. In this model the therapist offers empathic listening, acceptance, and gentle reflection to help people explore feelings around grief, anxiety, relationships, and life changes. This approach is helpful for those who need space to process difficult emotions at their own pace.

Sessions focus on creating a supportive, accepting relationship in which the client leads the conversation. The therapist's role is to be alongside the client, enabling gradual self-discovery and clearer responses to issues such as stress, trauma, or low self-esteem. This collaborative style suits people who prefer guidance without strict direction.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - appointments can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care, and access support from different locations. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt client-centered work effectively to online formats, helping clients progress through listening, exploration, and collaborative planning.
