About Andrew

Andrew Westcott is a person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 11 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, bereavement and loss, relationship issues, depression and related concerns. Sessions focus on what the client needs to talk about and process at their own pace.

His background emphasises supporting people through grief and loss. He uses a person-centred approach that puts the client’s perspective first. That means sessions are guided by what the client brings rather than a fixed set of questions or techniques.

In practice he listens without directing the conversation. He encourages reflection and helps people notice patterns that affect daily life. This can be useful for issues such as low self-esteem, anger, attachment concerns and compassion fatigue.

People also bring practical life changes to sessions, including caregiver stress, mother and fatherhood questions, commitment and communication struggles, and the impact of trauma or abuse. Andrew aims to stay alongside the person while they make sense of these experiences.

He works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. His BACP membership is shown as BACP. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and costs, since fees vary with location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Andrew Westcott practises person-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. That approach involves reflecting what the person says, noticing feelings, and helping clients find their own conclusions. It is often used for grief, anxiety and relationship concerns.

Person-centred counselling places emphasis on the person’s view rather than therapist-led techniques. In conversation this means fewer direct questions and more space to describe what matters. This can help when tackling things like low self-esteem, attachment worries or the impact of past abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will discuss how sessions feel and adjust the way he works based on your needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and reviewed as you go.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make fitting counselling into a busy day easier, for example by avoiding travel and allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also make it simpler to have a session without being on camera if that helps, or to choose a quieter setting with less background noise.
