About me
I’m Andrew, a qualified Counselling Psychologist offering confidential, down-to-earth therapy online and by phone. My practice is built on authenticity, trust, and a deep understanding of each individual’s unique journey. Over the years, I have supported many people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, stress and relationship challenges, among other issues. I believe that every person’s story is unique and deserves a tailored approach.
Why choose to have therapy with me?
My extensive training and diverse experience have shaped a distinctive approach to therapy. Unlike many therapists who follow a single method, I integrate various therapeutic techniques to suit your specific needs. With training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Humanistic therapies (Person-centred and Gestalt), Cognitive-Behavioural therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic approaches my primary focus is increasing your self-awareness to help you make clear and confident choices in daily life.
The Humanistic-IFS Approach
This way of working is about helping you reconnect with your true self and understand the many parts that make up who you are. We start from a place of acceptance, seeing you as whole, not broken. Rather than trying to get rid of difficult feelings or thoughts, we explore them with curiosity and kindness. Every part of you has a story and a reason for being there, even the ones that feel uncomfortable. As we listen to these parts and understand what they need, you begin to feel more balanced, more connected, and more at peace with yourself. Healing isn’t about changing who you are — it’s about coming home to who you’ve always been.
What to Expect
Starting therapy can be daunting, but many of my clients find the process to be a relief, not as intimidating as they feared. Therapy can indeed be challenging, but it is also one of the most rewarding paths to bringing joy, love, and fulfilment back into your life. Whether you're new to therapy or looking for a fresh perspective after previous experiences, I’m here to help.
Your Journey Begins Here
Every great transformation starts with a single step. Let’s take that step together. I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation over the phone, where we can discuss your needs and how we might work together. Your path to a better life begins with a simple message. Reach out today, and let's start this transformative journey.
