About Andrew
Andrew Westcott works using a person-centred approach to counselling. He is a BACP member, and he focuses on helping people who are dealing with bereavement, loss and related stresses. He keeps sessions calm and straightforward so people can talk about what matters most.
His practice places the client at the centre of each session. Clients decide what to bring and set the pace, while he listens and reflects to help them make sense of painful feelings.
Background and approach
He does not rely on direct questioning but supports people as they uncover their own answers. Andrew has spent 11 years working with people managing grief, anxiety and the strain of life changes. He also helps with issues such as relationship difficulties, depression, anger and low self-esteem.
He offers space for people experiencing trauma, abuse, or compassion fatigue to talk without pressure. Other areas he commonly addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, communication and commitment concerns, and problems like guilt, shame or infidelity. He also assists people facing aging or fatherhood challenges and those coping with hoarding or dissociation.
Sessions are conducted in English and he practises from the United Kingdom. People who want to begin are invited to follow the site process to match with him and arrange sessions according to his schedule.

Approaches Andrew lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Andrew works online
That same person-centred way of working can translate to remote sessions. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide how the sessions run, checking in about goals and preferences as you go. Finding the right approach is part of the work together, and adjustments are made based on your needs and what feels most helpful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also means people can choose a setting and timing that suit daily routines while working with a registered professional to address stress, bereavement and other concerns.
