About me
My name is Andrew and I offer face to face appointments at Beechwood House, in Newport.
I am primarily a humanistic counsellor but can work in an integrative style to tailor your needs. As a humanistic counsellor some of my work has been with individuals who have experienced domestic abuse, self-harm, depression and loss and grief. My approach is centred on empathy, understanding and providing a safe space for clients to expore their feelings and heal. I am a calm and considerate individual dedicated to providing a non-judgemental environment.
Please note: A reserved car parking bay outside the office is provided for AC Counselling customers.
For those who prefer a more space aware setting, I also provide walking and talking therapy in Beechwood Park adjacent to Beechwood House (weather permitting).
Training, qualifications & experience
I have various qualifications including my counselling diploma and a degree in BA (Hons) English Literature.
My experience prior to counselling has included numerous projects such as:
Working extensively with young adults experiencing homelessness, helping them navigate the complexities of their situations and find stability. My approach focused on building trust and empowering them to make positive changes in their lives.
I have supported individuals and their families through the challenges of dementia, offering empathetic and patient-centred care. My goal was to enhance their quality of life and provide a sense of comfort and understanding.
I also provided therapeutic support to children excluded from mainstream education, helping them address behavioural issues and emotional needs. My work aimed to reintegrate them back into the educational settings and promote their overall well-being.
