Andrew has a gentle and calming manner, is clearly very experienced and very easy to talk to. I have just finished my last session and I'm so glad I have been matched with him. Today, he has given me something very important to think about which I had never considered before.

Hello. I am a person -centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

My experience centres around people experiencing bereavement and loss.

I provide a warm, safe and accepting space where you choose what you need to talk about and process. The practice facilitates an environment where you work at a pace that feels right for you, in effect you will be leading the session, yet I will be alongside you every step of the way.

The process will not involve direct questions, instead I will be enabling you through your worries and concerns, for you to gradually discover answers to those issues that interfere with your everyday life. It can often be a painful and frustrating journey; however with my support and your perseverance, you will begin finding answers to those long overdue questions.

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.
