About John

John Lennox is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. He also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addictions and work-related pressures.

John uses several practical approaches in sessions. He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to look at emotions and patterns that can keep people stuck. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person wants to change. He listens to current problems and helps build clearer steps to manage symptoms and feelings. He aims to help people name painful emotions and make choices that better match their values.

John has supported clients with a wide range of concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency and complex stress from caregiving or serious illness. He also works with people exploring kink and alternative sexual culture, and with those coping after disasters or major life events.

Work with him begins by looking at immediate priorities and practical strategies. Over time, sessions can shift to understanding deeper emotional patterns and improving everyday relationships. He offers therapy in English and accepts international clients, with session cost varying by location and billed through a cancellable subscription.

How his approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people put words to hard-to-name feelings and notice the patterns those feelings create in relationships and day-to-day life. In online sessions this can mean using focused conversations to mark emotional moments and try new ways of responding.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and choosing actions that match what matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear strategies to test different reactions and reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences and what feels most useful, and then decide together which methods to use. This makes the process collaborative rather than fixed.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - for example shorter check-ins at work breaks, audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited, or video conversations for face-to-face interaction without travel. These practical choices help therapy fit around daily commitments rather than replace in-person care.
