About John
John Andrews is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk at their own pace and be heard. He brings four years of experience to sessions and works in the United Kingdom.
His work combines client-centred care with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy. That means conversations that focus on understanding feelings alongside tools to change unhelpful thinking and habits.
Background and approach
Sessions often include reflective listening, gentle questioning and practical steps to try between meetings. John also draws on existential ideas to help people look at meaning, choice and life direction. Those conversations can be useful when someone is coping with big life changes, grief, or questions about who they want to be.
He pays attention to how past relationships and experiences shape present patterns. Clients commonly seek support for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and issues around self-esteem and relationships. He also works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger and work-related stress.
Additional areas of focus include ADHD, grief, intimacy-related worries and long-term health or caregiving challenges. John is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers sessions in English. He aims to tailor the pace and style of therapy to each person’s needs while encouraging practical steps that fit everyday life.

How approaches like client-centred care and CBT work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening, acceptance and following the client’s pace to help them feel understood and heard. Online sessions allow those same conversations to happen by video, phone or text so the person can choose how they communicate.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. In online work this often includes setting small tasks between sessions, practising new skills in daily life and reviewing them together in follow-up meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether client-centred listening, CBT or a blend of methods suits their goals and situation. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan can change if needed.
Online sessions offer practical benefits such as greater flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed, phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones while working with registered or accredited professionals.
