Welcome to my Betterhelp profile!
My name is Andrew, and I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals grow and thrive. My personal therapeutic philosophy is based on the belief that every client possesses unique strengths and experiences that shape their journey. I believe that the most important aspect of therapy is creating a safe and supportive space where clients can be seen, heard, and accepted for who they are.
I strongly believe that growth is a collaborative process, and I work closely with my clients to help them identify their goals and develop a plan for achieving them. My approach is grounded in empathy and compassion, and I strive to build a genuine connection with each of my clients. I am here to support you, challenge you, and help you find the strength and resilience to navigate life's challenges.
I understand that every client's journey is different, and I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs and goals of each person I work with. I believe that therapy is most effective when clients feel empowered to take an active role in their healing process. That's why I use a variety of techniques, including psycho-education and mindfulness practices, to help clients develop the skills they need to cope with difficult emotions and build resilience.
As we work together, I will encourage you to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment, and I will help you develop greater self-awareness and insight. My ultimate goal is to shift your focus from your struggles to what you can do, and to support you as you grow and thrive.
Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you on your journey.
Warmest Regards,
Andrew

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Andrew is a really attentive therapists. I was very reluctant at first but he soon put me at ease.
Very understanding and committed to listening to my problems was a good experience
Andrew, has a great way of allowing you to self reflect and understand the root of your thoughts. Knowing when to push and pull in a therapy setting is tricky and he is masterful at this.
He's kept in touch throughout the months while I was not actively a member and that shows concern and care. He's the kind of help I need. Thank you.
Andrew is a counsellor who clearly enjoys his job and helping people. During our sessions he has been professional, thoughtful and caring. He also provides good practical solutions whilst also explaining the theoretical background. Highly recommended and I look forward to working further with Andrew.
Andrew is really helping me grow, personally and professionally. I’d tried several therapists over time and haven’t found anyone click as well as Andrew. I would absolutely recommend him to others. It’s like talking to a super wise older brother.
Intuitive and educated but doesn’t speak down to me. I’ve been seeing countless therapist, Dr.’s, APRN’s, and so many more, since my breakdown in Y2K, and in two sessions and messages, we’ve accomplished more than the preceding 23-years. More than highly recommended.
Andrew is a really great therapist, fantastic listener, very kind, always keeps his patients needs in mind and goes the extra mile.
Really recommend. Great guy, very easy to talk to, very understanding, overall amazing

Great therapist! Very supportive with a broad knowledge base. I have found out sessions have been greatly beneficial this far.
Andrew is just one of the BEST therapists on Betterhelp. He's empathic, instinctive, kind and wise. I couldn't wish for a better therapist to assist me on my healing journey. He truly is a gift.
Andrew has been an extremely effective and understanding counsellor and I feel he has a good handle on my issues and situation and has enabled me to start some difficult processes of change in my life. He has helped me through a very challenging time and I would recommend him to others without reservations. I have really enjoyed our sessions so far over the last four months and I feel I have grown as a person.
Excellent therapist. Quickly made me feel at ease.
Our conversations were constructive and validating, helping me to find the ways I wanted to think in an honest and safe environment. Everything I was hoping to get out of therapy.
I have been to plenty of therapists and none of them have listened to me quite like Andrew has. I finally don't dread therapy and actually look forward to getting the help I need
Andrew is a great listener, is compassionate and has a terrific way of absorbing information to find answers and solutions. Andrew has given me answers to questions I nevere knew the answers too. He is charming, smart and extremely intelligent. Would highly recommend him. I'd even grab a beer with him he is THAT cool and kind.
