Individual counselling

Individual Counselling in Somerville

Warm, practical one-to-one counselling for adults and young people who want support with difficult feelings, relationships, change or feeling stuck.

A confidential space focused on what matters to you

People come to individual counselling for many reasons. You may be living with anxiety, stress, grief, low mood or self-doubt. You may be navigating a relationship change, parenting pressure, work difficulties or a transition that has unsettled your sense of direction.

You do not need a diagnosis or a perfectly formed goal before starting. Counselling can begin with the experience you are having now. Together, we can slow things down, understand the patterns around the problem and identify changes that feel realistic for your life.

Collaborative support at a manageable pace

Sessions are conversational and tailored to you. Depending on your needs, we may explore thoughts and emotions, relationship patterns, coping responses, personal values and practical strategies for managing difficult moments.

Andrew draws on person-centred, emotionally focused and mindfulness-informed approaches. The work is not about giving you a list of instructions. It is about helping you feel heard, understand yourself more clearly and build choices that fit who you are.
