About Andrew

Andrew Clarke is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, depression and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing panic attacks, mood concerns and isolation.

Andrew aims for straightforward, practical conversation. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them notice strengths they already have. Sessions focus on clear steps and understanding what gets in the way of day-to-day living.

His background includes a degree in counselling and work as a counselling supervisor. That mix means he combines one-to-one client work with time guiding other counsellors. He draws on different psychological approaches rather than a single method.

In session Andrew uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. He also adopts client-centred ways of listening and emotionally focused techniques to explore strong emotional experiences. At times he will use psychodynamic thinking to notice repeated patterns, and solution-focused ideas to set small achievable goals.

People usually find his appointments direct and practical. He helps to break problems into manageable steps. He invites clients to test small changes and to reflect on what helps them feel steadier over time.

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how past and current relationships affect feelings and reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice relationship patterns and try different responses in everyday interactions. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting what the client says; this helps people clarify what matters to them and set their own priorities in sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people explore and name strong emotions, which can reduce overwhelm and improve communication in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is a collaborative decision and can change as work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions fit into busy lives more easily, for example by avoiding travel or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. Others prefer a longer slot to talk through complex feelings. Discussing practical arrangements at first contact helps shape sessions to suit daily routines.
