My name is Andy and I am a qualified person-centred counsellor. I strongly believe that we all have the ability to navigate the challenges life provides by drawing on our own experience and capabilities. As a person-centred counsellor, my role is to enable clients to explore whatever they choose to bring to sessions in order to gain a deeper understanding of how it is impacting them and enabling them to create positive change.

When I first started with Andy, I thought the world was so small and over. Working with Andy he’s really made me realise that it wasn’t and really helped me in my therapy. I’d highly recommend Andy for anyone struggling, he was always there to listen and give very helpful advice to get me through those tough times. Thank you Andy More...

Andy was an amazing listener. He was invaluable in helping me unravel why I had made the appointment in the first place, then guided me through to a comfortable solution by reflection. I am very grateful. I would definitely recommend him wholeheartedly. More...

When I started therapy with Andy, I was in a very bad place and very scared for my future. Andy taught me alot about myself and unlocked a strength in me I never knew I even had. Thank you so much Andy for saving me from myself. I would highly recommend Andy to anyone. Thanks again! 😊 More...

I was resistant to trying therapy/ counselling, but I'm glad I did, and Andy has been fantastic. To say the difference between how I felt and how I feel now is huge is an understatement. I had sessions for a year, and the changes to the way I think about myself and the way I navigate situations following my sessions with Andy have been life changing. I can't speak highly enough of him and would have no hesitation in recommending him as a therapist. Thank you! Ben More...

Up until a few months ago I had been a client of Andy's for around 3 years through and good times and bad. I found his approach to therapy to be extremely easy to get on with while being very kind and honest. I found it was very easy to build a rapport with Andy, and to discuss many of my deeper self reflections in an honest yet gentle manner. He worked very hard to understand me as an individual to provide precisely what was needed at any given time. I would highly recommend Andy to anyone looking for a therapist. More...

Would recommend to anyone feeling overwhelmed with their thoughts or facing any slump regarding their mental health. Andy not only let me understand and discover the issues and challenges that I was facing, but he also helped me map out my thoughts and understand them from a more objective and critically perspective.

I have found having talking therapy with Andy to be very helpful. He has a very warm, friendly and supportive manner. This was my second time of having sessions with Andy after a gap of a few years. I feel that if I needed more sessions in the future I would have no hesitation in contacting Andy again. Thank you. More...

I can’t say enough positive things about Andy. He has really helped me through a tough time and has really been an empathetic and validating presence while sorting through the more stressful parts of my life. He’s a really good listener, and has offered helpful suggestions on ways to reframe my thinking. I have benefitted hugely from the sessions with Andy, and would recommend him to anyone who is considering therapy. More...

I would sincerely advise speaking with Andy and using his services! The last year of my life had been severely impacted positively by Andy, and has gotten me to a place within myself where I really doubted I could get to. His approach, environment, and overall presence made, what I thought would be a very uncomfortable and difficult service, an incredibly easy and comfortable place to openly speak about all worries and problems I had going on in my life! I can not thank Andy enough and can only suggest using Andy if you’re ever in need of a very friendly and kind service! More...

It has been such a positive experience working with Andrew. I couldn’t recommend him enough. It has been a very emotional and at some points overwhelming journey for me, but Andrew has always made me feel comfortable and at ease discussing a lot of difficult issues.

I really recommend Andy for counselling. Andy allows you to feel heard, and helps you to work through things at your own pace. The best person-centred counselling I've come across. More...

I really don’t t know where to start at saying how fantastic Andy is, I have just finished therapy and I still remember how nervous I was in my first session, I couldn’t see a way forward but thanks to Andy I have walked out today like a new person, he has helped me work through some difficult issues, has never judged me and shown empathy through it all. Andy has shown me a different, positive way of dealing with difficult situations and I am stronger person because of him! I would recommend Andy to anyone! More...

Highly Recommend Andy & his practice. Throughout Andy created a comfortable, welcoming environment throughout each session, both with in person and online appointments. Communication was fantastic and the practice itself was very flexible within reason. Overall I feel the sessions really helped me grow and deconstruct a lot of interpersonal and behavioural issues I'd been dealing with, and can't recommend Andy Enough. More...

Andrew is truly an amazing person! He helped me so much through a lot of difficult issues and situations I had in past and present. Always been nervous to start counselling but Andy made it so easy from our very first session to our last. Andy’s great for keeping in touch and touching base with you if you’ve had to stop sessions for awhile. Highly recommend Andrew to anyone, so professional but with such a loving and friendly demeanour. More...

Andy was the first counsellor I had spoken to about a number of topics, and I couldn't recommend him enough. I always imagined that talking about things would be difficult and counselling wasn't a route I was fully expecting to help, however, Andy made our sessions extremely comfortable and safe. Every session gave me something to think about or provided me with a different perspective on the topics discussed, resulting in reflections between sessions that would both help me grow and be able to approach a number of personal topics differently.

Having recently been through a tough break up, I realised I had a few things I needed help processing and thought it would be good to speak to a counsellor. I came across Andy’s business and having chatted to him for an initial consultation, I decided he sounded like a good fit. He’s been instrumental in helping me understand myself more and in helping me navigate through some negative self talk. I’ve come through counselling with more clarity about myself & the issues I wanted to explore. He’s very empathetic, allowed me to steer the conversations which I appreciated and helped me to reflect on things a lot. I’m a happier, more content and confident individual and I thank him for helping me get to this place. I would highly recommend him. More...

I could not recommend Andy highly enough. When I first started my sessions with him, I was very overwhelmed with many elements of my life. Now everything feels much clearer and manageable. He has been great at helping me identify common patterns in my life, to help me challenge myself and to accept and embrace who I am. He is very understanding, never rushes you and has never made me talk about something I wasn’t comfortable in discussing. More...

I started working with Andy in august a few weeks before the passing of my dad. From the get go Andy was a calm reassuring presence who gave practical and empathetic advice. I can confidently say I wouldnt be in the headspace I am right now without Andy’s help. I would recommend him highly to anyone. More...

Andy is a fantastic counsellor. Posting under an alias to protect my identity but I had to leave a review of his counselling. I have seen many counsellors over the years and I have never been able to be as open and as brutally honest with anyone or even myself. Andy never pushes anything and leaves it up to you to bring things up. He never seems to forget anything you tell him and always seems to understand how it may affect you. The brilliant thing I have found is that the more open you are as a person then the more understanding and help he can provide or point you to. My only negative is as it’s a zoom session I think he uses his mobile to text people or read messages sometimes. I find that hard as I feel I am boring or not worth listening to… however he always seems to know what you are saying so he must still be listening. I guess it’s just a frustration at times. However I would never let this put you off seeing Andy as a counsellor as he has helped me more than I thought I could achieve. Absolutely no problems fully recommending him if you are looking for support and a space to sort your thoughts and feelings out. If you read this - thank you Andy for all your help over the weeks. Top bloke, too counsellor - just keep your phone turned off 👍🏻 More...
