About Andrew

Counsellor (BACP), 4 years' experience. Andrew Armstrong helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem and depression. He also addresses relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger and coping with life changes. He uses several therapeutic approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.

Andrew works in a straightforward way. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on understanding how patterns of thought and feeling affect daily life. Conversations aim to identify small changes that make a difference between sessions.

He is comfortable talking through attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment concerns and blended family dynamics. He also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, commitment and communication problems. Practical coping strategies are paired with work on emotion and relationship patterns.

Andrew draws on acceptance and mindfulness ideas alongside cognitive and emotion‑focused methods. That mix helps people who are dealing with grief, burnout or compassion fatigue as well as those struggling with shame or guilt. He explains approaches simply and checks in about what feels useful.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Andrew is registered with the BACP. To begin, follow the site’s process to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a first meeting.

How his therapy methods translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting entangled in them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It is often helpful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns still shape current reactions and connections, which can be useful for relationship and family issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative choice guides whether sessions emphasise skills practice, emotion work or exploring attachment patterns.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. It can also allow people to use less bandwidth by turning off video or to choose quieter timings that suit work and family life. Registered and accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday routines.
