About Andrew
Andrew Armstrong is a counsellor who works from a client-centred stance. He uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. He aims to support individuals as they make changes that matter in day-to-day life.
Andrew holds BACP accreditation and practises in the United Kingdom. Andrew frames therapy around what each person brings to the room. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them try things that may improve how they cope and relate.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, simple goals such as reducing anxiety, managing grief, or building self-esteem. His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and choose values-guided action, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact. He also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at how relationships affect mood and reactions.
With four years of professional experience, Andrew has supported people through relationship strain, parenting stress, bereavement, anger and life transitions. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, body image and family of origin concerns. He keeps sessions practical and centred on what clients want to change.
Sessions are conducted in English. Andrew does not accept international clients at this time. Before booking, clients are asked to follow the site process to match with him and schedule a session according to availability.

How Andrew works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will discuss which methods seem to fit your needs and goals and will adjust the plan as you go. The aim is to collaborate so that therapy methods match what you find most helpful and realistic.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy life - it can cut travel time, make it easier to schedule around work or childcare, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use a mix of talking, practical exercises and written reflections that you can continue between sessions to support steady progress.
