About Andrew
My name is Andrew, and I am a fully qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges. In our sessions, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can talk about whatever is on your mind. Whether you are struggling to identify specific issues or feel overwhelmed by many different concerns, I will help you make sense of your feelings at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I am an integrative therapist, which means I tailor my approach to your specific needs. I frequently incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools to help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns that may be contributing to your distress. By combining goal-oriented CBT techniques with a sensitive exploration of your personal history, we can understand how past experiences influence your current behaviours and work towards making positive, lasting changes.
I believe the best results are achieved through a collaborative partnership. While my priority is to understand your perspective, I also play an active role in helping you work through dilemmas. I may occasionally challenge you, but always in a way that is gentle, supportive, and transparent. Your feedback is always welcome as we work together toward your goals.
I adhere to the highest professional standards set forth by the NCPS and BACP. I maintain strict adherence to their ethical guidelines and prioritise ongoing supervision and Continual Professional Development (CPD) to ensure I provide the best quality service throughout our therapeutic journey.
My journey into the counselling profession began with a deep-seated passion for supporting others, which was first ignited during my time as a volunteer with the Samaritans. Offering support to individuals at their lowest ebb taught me the profound significance of active listening and empathy - qualities that I believe form the foundation of effective therapy.
Before embarking on my career as a counsellor, I gained valuable experience working within a government department. This role allowed me to interact with individuals from a vast array of backgrounds and cultures, providing me with a broad perspective and a deep understanding of the diverse world we live in.
Today, I hold an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and have undertaken specialist training in couples, psychosexual therapy and sex addiction (Compulsive Sexual Behaviour). By combining my professional training with my real-world experience, I bring a unique blend of practical understanding and compassionate support to my practice.
