About John Andrews
John Andrews creates a welcoming, non-judgmental space where people are invited to explore their thoughts, feelings, and life experiences at a comfortable pace. Grounded in humanistic principles, his practice is guided by the belief that individuals have an innate capacity for growth and self-understanding when met with empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. He combines this human-centered stance with psychodynamic influences, gently exploring how past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns may be shaping present emotional life.
In sessions, John fosters a collaborative relationship that values curiosity, respect, and careful listening, seeing the therapeutic relationship itself as a vital part of healing. Whether addressing anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, a sense of being stuck, or other sources of distress, he supports clients in gaining greater self-awareness and practical insight. The goal is not only to reduce immediate distress but also to nurture a fuller, more authentic way of living that reflects each person’s values and capacities.
He holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership in the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Approaches, Collaboration, and Online Support
John Andrews integrates approaches that balance compassionate presence with practical techniques. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a non-judgmental space so clients can explore their own solutions - it is especially helpful for building self-esteem, processing relationships, and working through life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to relieve anxiety, depression, and stress by providing concrete strategies for change. Existential Therapy invites exploration of meaning, personal responsibility, and values when people face loss, uncertainty, or a sense of being stuck.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. John works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time so the therapeutic work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy with John is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, accommodate busy lives, and use the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for the client while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor their approach to each person.
