Justin Andrews, BACP

Justin Andrews is a BACP registered UK counsellor who brings extensive experience from social care and counselling settings to his therapeutic practice. He has worked across mental health services, with learning disabilities and neurodiversity, within the criminal justice system and with young people, and that breadth of experience shapes the way he supports people facing a range of challenges.

He works with complex mental health issues as well as everyday difficulties such as stress and anxiety, relationship problems, grief and loss, and depression. His approach is grounded in the belief that people can learn about themselves, grow, and change even when life feels overwhelming, and he aims to help clients develop practical coping strategies and clearer direction.

In addition to counselling, Justin teaches counselling and leads meditation and mindfulness sessions, including work offered in a nearby prison. He has maintained a long personal practice of meditation and self development since his teenage years and brings that lived experience into his teaching and therapeutic work. He is registered with the BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Therapeutic approaches and online support with Justin Andrews

Justin often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions; this approach helps people who want to explore personal values, relationships, and life direction. He also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact and provides practical techniques to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy is another element of his work, teaching present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can help with emotional regulation and coping with chronic difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Justin works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. He assesses what is most useful and adapts methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Justin is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home, while allowing sessions to fit into busy lives and for people in different locations to receive ongoing support.
