About John
John Day welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or changes in life. He introduces calm, steady conversations and practical steps. He aims to make the first step easier and less daunting for anyone who is worried about starting therapy.
John works in the United Kingdom and is registered with the HCPC. He has five years of clinical experience supporting people through addiction, relationship strain and grief.
Background and approach
He also helps with anger, intimacy concerns and trauma-related difficulties. In sessions he adapts his approach to each person. He uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
He draws on client-centred methods to let people set the pace and focus of the work. He also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice difficult feelings and act in line with their values. Attachment-based and existential ideas shape how he thinks about relationships and life meaning when those come up in therapy.
John aims for conversations that are respectful and practical. He will work with each person to build a plan that suits their goals. If you want to begin, follow the Start Therapy steps on the site and schedule a time that fits your needs.

How John works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. It often helps with anxiety, mood problems and stress by teaching practical skills to change what you do and think.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the conversation. The counsellor listens without directing, helping people find their own solutions and decide what to tackle next.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and needs, and together you will try methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are normal as you learn what helps.
For practical arrangements, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to keep continuity between meetings and to help people continue therapy when life is busy.
