About Andrew

Andrew Westcott is a person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He aims to give people a calm space to talk and to be heard. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to focus on.

He has 11 years' experience working with grief and bereavement alongside a wide range of concerns. These include stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

He also supports people facing compassion fatigue and issues such as abandonment, attachment and fatherhood concerns. Andrew works in a way that lets the client lead the conversation. He listens without pressing with direct questions and helps people notice their own thoughts and feelings.

This approach is gentle and paced to suit each person. Practical problems like control issues, communication breakdowns, caregiving stress, infidelity and hoarding are also within his focus. He helps people untangle guilt, shame, dissociation and feelings of emptiness so they can make clearer choices about next steps.

Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. His background is rooted in client-centred practice and steady listening, aimed at helping people find their own answers and move forward at a pace that feels right.

Ways of working Andrew names

Client-Centred Therapy

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

Person-centred support through online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the person a respectful, non-judgemental space. The counsellor listens deeply and reflects what you say so you can better understand your feelings and choices. This method is often helpful for grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship concerns.

Andrew's approach is collaborative. He will work with you to decide which way of working feels right and adjust as your needs change. Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic work and happens together over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text options support shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving or other commitments and help maintain continuity when travel or schedules change.
