Andrew has created an empathetic and non-judgemental environment for me to explore my thoughts and feelings. I feel understood as an individual and his comments are always very thoughtful. I have made good progress towards becoming both more resilient and light-hearted as a result.

As a Person Centred therapist I am extremely passionate about providing clients with a safe space, as well as a supportive therapeutic relationship. I create a versatile and person-centred environment, where I can offer support in an empathetic, congruent and non-judgemental way, with the aim of helping my client achieve growth and fulfillment.
I can use a number of different approaches in helping a client with anxiety, depression, addiction, as I appreciate that the emotional requirements vary dramatically from one client to the next, so aim to help equip the client with practical techniques to allow them to make their daily lives more manageable. With addiction I would discuss the clients’ habitual behaviour, their associated triggers, and help them to make informed decisions.

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 helped me through some very difficult thoughts. I couldn't recommend him enough. Extremely compassionate and always ready to listen!
Andrew has provided a very empathetic environment for me during our sessions. This allowed me to mindfully express my thoughts and feelings, and come to authentic conclusions. His approach is very person-centric, as he paid thorough attention in order to understand my specific situations and assist me in achieving a healthy mindset. I would definitely recommend Andrew as a therapist and will reach out to him in case I need any further help in the future.
I've found my sessions really useful in giving me a safe place to voice my thoughts. Andrew has encouraged me to be more accepting of my own needs and help me to see that my feelings are valid. This in turn has allowed me to express them better to others as needed. I would certainly recommend him as I feel that I have been genuinely listened to and understood, and have received thoughtful responses that are pertinent to me.
Andrew has been fantastic, really taking the time to properly listen, reflect and inspire. I cannot recommend working with Andrew enough!
Andrew has really helped me talk through traumatic experiences. He allows space for me to talk and when he does respond it’s always something thoughtful: kind and useful. Since we started I feel stronger and have gained a new perspective.
Can't stress enough how Andrew has helped me understand myself and learn how to love myself and be proud of who I am. He listens and really empathizes with you in every session and helps you come to the answers, which you almost already know, but he helps you identify them through developing a relationship and getting to know the person. If I ever feel I may need help again, I will without doubt reach out to Andrew again. Thanks Andrew!
