What do you love most about your job?
Andrew has a genuine passion to help people. The enjoyment of watching someone progress in their goals and seeing the change in them from the initial consultation phone call, right through to the final session is very rewarding.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having been through a very difficult period in my life over 25 years ago, I have been the client needing help. So to be able to provide a freindly, professional service to others who are reaching out to find the help they need is such a priviledge to experience.
Why should our clients choose you?
Andrew has 25 years of expereince as a Therapist and well-being coach. He has worked in the NHS Mental Health and Private sector (The Priory Hospital). He has specialised in helping people with Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Phobias, and Abuse, which allows him to focus and gain vast experience in this field.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Counselling and Solution-Focused Therapy can be done online via video calls, but I feel it is best in person, so the connection is made quickly and easily in the therapy room setting rather than on a screen.

TimeLine Therapy
The key concept behind Timeline Therapy is that our memories and experiences are stored in a linear manner in our subconscious mind, creating an internal "timeline" of our life events. By working with this timeline, individuals can access past experiences and emotions, gain insights, and reframe negative emotions to create positive change.
The main goals of Timeline Therapy include:
Resolving negative emotions: Timeline Therapy aims to help individuals identify and release negative emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, guilt, and hurt that may be linked to past experiences.
Letting go of limiting beliefs: The therapy helps individuals identify and change limiting beliefs that may be holding them back from achieving their goals and living a fulfilling life.
Setting meaningful goals: Through the process, individuals can clarify their life goals and create a compelling future for themselves, thus enhancing motivation and direction in life.
The process of Timeline Therapy typically involves guiding the individual into a relaxed state, where they can access their subconscious mind and explore their timeline. The therapist may use specific techniques to help the individual detach from negative emotions associated with past events and replace them with more positive and empowering emotions. This process aims to create a sense of emotional freedom and enable individuals to move forward with a more positive outlook on life.
