About Andrew
I believe the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful change. My approach is collaborative — I work alongside you to explore what's getting in the way of living the life you want, at a pace that feels right for you.
With a background in both individual and couples counselling, I bring an integrative perspective drawing on multiple therapy approaches, from person-centred therapy to mindfulness-based approaches. I work with children (8+) and adults across all walks of life — no concern is too large or too small.

How I work
I draw on a range of evidence-based modalities, shaped around your individual needs and goals. No single approach fits everyone — that's why I tailor each engagement to the person in front of me.
You are the expert on your own life. My role is to provide a non-judgmental, empathic space where you feel genuinely heard and respected — always at your pace.
Drawing on EFT principles, I help clients understand their emotional patterns and create the conditions for lasting, meaningful change.
I combine person-centred therapy, and mindfulness — selecting what fits best for each unique person, presenting concern, and stage of the therapeutic relationship.
