About Andrew
Andrew Armstrong is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and supports those coping with relationship and family concerns. He also helps people experiencing compassion fatigue and anger as they adapt to life changes.
Andrew uses practical talking approaches rather than jargon. He treats clients as the experts on their lives and focuses on what each person wants to change. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused, with room to talk about feelings and practical next steps.
He draws on a mix of therapies to match what someone needs. That can include work on patterns in close relationships, noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts, and learning different ways to respond to stress and strong emotions. Therapy often covers communication, boundaries, and how early family experiences still affect day-to-day life.
Andrew has supported people dealing with abandonment or attachment issues, blended family difficulties, body image and codependency concerns. He also works with those coping with separation, guilt, shame, emptiness and family of origin problems.
Sessions aim to be steady and practical. The focus is on making small, manageable changes that fit into a busy young adult life. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Approach-driven online counselling and what it looks like
Andrew often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on choosing actions that match a persons values. It is helpful for anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections, communication and trust; it is useful for relationship and family issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and may change as sessions progress, with practical steps agreed together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and changing schedules. It also allows for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and gives flexibility if someone prefers not to travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can help plan how to use sessions so they fit everyday life and the clients goals.
