About John
John Andrews is a counsellor who uses an existential approach to help people make sense of difficult life questions. He offers a calm, respectful space where people can talk at their own pace about what matters most to them. He holds a BACP credential, which appears on his professional profile.
His style draws on client-centred principles so sessions focus on the person, not a checklist. Conversations aim to increase self-understanding and clarify values, not only reduce symptoms.
Background and approach
He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try small practical changes in day-to-day life. John brings four years of experience working with stress, anxiety and low mood. He also helps with relationship concerns, grief, addictions and parenting strain.
Other areas he supports include trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, career questions and living with ADHD. Sessions invite honest, respectful enquiry about past experiences and how they shape present choices. That can include looking at early relationship patterns and recurring reactions.
Work may combine talking, reflective exercises and gentle behaviour experiments. People meet him for help coping with life change, finding more meaning, or managing overwhelm. He accepts clients in the United Kingdom and international clients who prefer online work.
Sessions are offered in English.

Online support
Existential and practical approaches for online therapy
John uses Existential Therapy to help people examine meaning, choice and values when life feels uncertain. This approach is useful for those coping with major change, loss or a sense of being stuck because it focuses on what matters most to the individual.He also draws on Client‑Centred Therapy, which places the person at the heart of sessions through empathy and non-judgemental listening. That helps people feel heard and make their own decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments that can ease anxiety and improve sleep.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods based on your goals, preferences and how you respond in early sessions. This means plans can shift if something isn’t helping.
Online work is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel.
