About Andrew
Andrew Wood is a counsellor with seven years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, stress, relationships, grief and coping with life changes. He also supports people facing career questions, addictions, sleep difficulties and low self-esteem.
Andrew offers a mix of counselling, coaching and psychotherapy for adults. He meets people who want to talk through practical problems and who want clearer ways to manage day-to-day stress. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on finding doable steps to try between meetings.
His approach draws on client-centred ideas, solution-focused techniques and systemic thinking. That means conversations often centre on the client's own goals, looking for small useful changes and noticing how relationships or systems influence current problems. He explains ideas plainly and works through options together, rather than lecturing or prescribing a single method.
Andrew trained to MSc level in Counselling and Psychotherapy and holds Relate's Certificate in Relational Counselling. He is a registered and accredited member of the BACP and has experience in both clinical and workplace settings. Past roles include work with Mind, Relate, the Dove Service and NHS Trusts, and clinical leadership roles in employee assistance and health services.
People who choose him tend to want practical help with everyday difficulties, clearer boundaries or improved communication. He also offers clinical supervision to other practitioners. For anyone considering sessions, he asks people to describe their main concern and what they hope to achieve in their first contact.
How Andrew uses different approaches in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's priorities, listening and reflecting so the client can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs to clarify feelings and make decisions. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps and previous moments when things went better; it suits people who want short-term progress on a specific issue. Systemic Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how family, work or other systems affect a person's problems, which can be useful for relationship and communication issues.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss the client's goals and preferences and suggest which ideas might help most. They adjust the emphasis as work continues so methods match what the client finds helpful.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for a focused check-in from elsewhere. It also allows for shorter catch-ups when needed and for conversations that concentrate on practical steps between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use these approaches to help clients manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns while fitting therapy into everyday life.
