About Justin
Justin Andrews is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of counselling experience. He works with common life stresses and longer-term issues such as anxiety, depression, bereavement and addictions. He also supports people facing relationship difficulties, parenting strain, anger, sleep problems and challenges linked to ADHD and chronic illness.
He has a background of more than three decades in social care, including mental health, learning disabilities and criminal justice settings. That wider experience informs how he talks with people about complicated or layered problems. He also brings work from teaching counselling and leading mindfulness and meditation sessions.
In sessions he blends a few grounded approaches. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is part of his toolkit for working with emotions and relationship patterns. He also uses client-centred methods to follow what matters to the person, and cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns.
Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques appear in short practical exercises and breathing or awareness practices he teaches. These are used alongside conversational work to help people manage stress, grief or persistent low mood. He describes counselling as a place to look honestly at feelings and choices.
He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are provided via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and how they shape patterns in close relationships and personal life. It helps name difficult emotions and move toward clearer emotional responses that feel more constructive.Client-Centred Therapy places the persons concerns and priorities at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what matters most to the client so that discussion stays relevant and useful.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses short exercises and behavioural experiments to test unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping with anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will help the person decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep continuity when they are living abroad or have mobility or health constraints, while the counsellor and client agree together how best to structure appointments.
