About Andrew

Andrew Watson is a counsellor who follows a person-centred way of working and has 14 years of experience. He offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them. Andrew uses an open, non-judgemental manner to help people feel heard and understood.

He focuses on practical support as well as conversations. That can mean talking through patterns, spotting triggers, and trying small techniques that fit daily life.

Background and approach

He aims to help people manage anxiety, depression, addictive behaviours and the stress of change. Andrew works with a wide range of concerns including grief, self‑esteem, relationship and communication problems, parenting strains, career questions and issues around body image. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

His approach draws on client-centred principles and mindfulness. In practice that means paying close attention to a person’s experience and using gentle exercises to increase calm and focus. Sessions centre on what each person needs in the moment.

Andrew is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He sees people online from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone with the right therapist and schedule.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client‑centred and mindfulness work online

Andrew uses client‑centred therapy to place the person’s experience at the heart of each session, offering listening, reflection and empathy to help people clarify what matters and make choices that suit them. This approach can help when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about next steps.

He also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and build calm. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, low mood and managing urges linked to addictive patterns.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Andrew will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will adapt methods as the work progresses. Together they decide what feels most helpful in each phase of therapy.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions suit quick check‑ins or when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter or more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or travel commitments and to continue therapy from different locations.
