About Andrew

Andrew Harris is a psychotherapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP registration and has three years of clinical experience. He aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and understandable.

Andrew focuses on grief, loss and bereavement alongside anxiety, depression and low mood. He also works with people coping with life changes and persistent stress. His approach is person-centred and practical, helping people talk through what is happening now and find steps that feel manageable.

Background and approach

In sessions Andrew prioritises the relationship between counsellor and client. He offers a welcoming, non-judgemental space and listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a way that helps people make sense of their reactions.

Andrew also supports people with concerns linked to attachment and abandonment, difficulties after separation, body image and chronic health issues. He is open to addressing complex challenges such as dissociation, communication problems and caregiver stress, tailoring conversations to each person’s needs. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

He works collaboratively, discussing goals and what progress might look like so people feel involved in deciding their next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Andrew often works in a straightforward, evidence-informed way that focuses on present problems and practical change. One approach helps people understand links between their thoughts, feelings and actions so they can try different responses to anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on loss and adjustment, offering space to talk about grief and to develop ways of coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He checks in about what feels useful and adapts the pace and focus as progress is made.

Online therapy with Andrew uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls offer a close face-to-face style when people prefer that contact. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing conversation without being on camera. These options aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around daily life.
