Andy Fairie, NCPS

Andy Fairie is a United Kingdom-qualified therapist with three years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, OCD and phobias. He adopts a clear, practical approach rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients explore how thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected and where small changes can bring meaningful relief. Andy creates an open, nonjudgmental space where individuals can share difficult emotions and concerns, and he works collaboratively to set achievable goals and build coping skills.

He offers flexible appointment options including video calls, phone sessions and text messaging, with availability during office hours, at weekends and on Sunday afternoons. Andy holds the NCPS credential, indicating professional registration in his field. He brings decades of listening experience from other professional roles, has had a book published and gives presentations on related topics - experiences he says inform his therapeutic work and the emphasis he places on being heard. Taking the first step toward a more satisfying life can feel daunting, and Andy aims to support clients through that process with patience, practical tools and steady listening.

CBT-informed Online Therapy for Practical Change

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is central to Andy Fairie’s practice. It focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life situations, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address compulsive behaviours. This structured, goal-oriented work is often used to support people dealing with stress, depression, trauma-related symptoms, panic and OCD.

Andy frames therapy as a collaborative process - he listens carefully and helps clients choose the techniques and pacing that fit their needs and goals. Together they review what helps, adjust strategies, and decide whether to focus on skills practice, behaviour changes or exploring underlying patterns. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and is guided by the client’s preferences and progress.

Online sessions make this kind of work more accessible. Video calls and phone sessions allow for real-time conversation and connection, while live chat and text-based messaging can suit people who prefer written communication or need greater scheduling flexibility. These options let clients arrange therapy around work, family and other commitments and maintain continuity of care even when life is busy.
