Background and approach
His practice draws on client-centred ideas that place the person’s experience at the heart of the work. He uses solution-focused techniques to identify small changes that lead to relief. He also takes a systemic view when family patterns or relationships are part of the difficulty.
Andrew trained to a postgraduate level and has seven years of experience working in health and counselling services. He has worked in charities and NHS settings, and has led workplace and clinical services, so he understands both personal and work-related pressures. Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs and paced to suit how they prefer to work. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a time that fits their schedule.

How Andrew’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what you say and helps you recognise your own solutions. This approach works well when you need a supportive space to talk things through.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what you want to change. Conversations identify achievable goals and what you can do next. It is useful for people wanting quicker, goal-oriented progress.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences, and together you will decide which methods to try. Plans can be adjusted as the work progresses to suit what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let you use visual cues and more natural conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging suits shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving commitments or busy days while keeping the focus on practical support and steady progress.
