Meet Andy

Qualified Counsellor

I am passionate about helping people and I feel and believe that everyone has the right to feel peaceful and safe in this world. By integrating different counselling techniques from different counselling models (Person Centred, Psychodynamic and CBT) we can create a ‘what works best’ for you approach and ‘tailor’ the right type of counselling to meet each individual persons needs.

 

I am able to do this through my professional training as an Integrative and CBT Counsellor and so the counselling approach being delivered can be just as individual as you are.

I started training as a counsellor in 2013 and in that time have gained experience of supporting people with their mental health on issues such as (but not limited to)

  • Anxiety

  • OCD

  • Low mood

  • Depression

  • Male Health Issues

  • Addictions

  • Retirement Syndrome

  • Prison Release

  • Work Related Stress

  • Loss of Identity

  • Grief and Bereavement

  • Homelessness

  • Divorce

  • Social Anxiety

  • Self Esteem/Confidence

So that your wellbeing and safety is being protected at all times, I am a registered member of the BACP and NCPS and I adhere to their code of ethics.

​

I also hold full indemnity insurance, am a member of the ICO and hold a full and up to date DBS.
