About Andrew
Andrew Armstrong is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those managing relationship strains, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue and major life changes.
Andrew approaches work believing the client is the expert on their own life. He offers practical guidance and listening rather than giving fixed answers. Sessions focus on naming difficult emotions, spotting unhelpful patterns, and finding small changes that make day-to-day life easier.
His methods draw on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and attachment patterns, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose value-driven actions. He also uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques when they fit the situation.
People come to him for things like abandonment worries, codependency, body image concerns, communication problems, and family of origin issues. He helps with divorce and separation matters, blended family questions, guilt and shame, and coping with emptiness.
Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged through the site process. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and attachment patterns to help people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships. EFT is often used where feelings are hard to name and patterns repeat without clear cause.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them, and on choosing actions that reflect personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.
Andrew treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will discuss these methods and try out ways of working that match a client’s goals and preferences. Together they decide which tools and focus feel most useful over the first few sessions.
Session formats and scheduling should be confirmed before booking as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the practical options available so sessions can match everyday routines and commitments.
