About Justin

Justin Andrews is a UK counsellor with 14 years working directly in counselling and many more years in related social care roles. He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He focuses on men's wellbeing alongside common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and addictions. Clients come to him for help with relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem and life changes.

He draws on straightforward, person-centred conversations to help people make sense of what matters to them. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches sit alongside mindfulness practices he has taught for many years. Sessions aim to be calm, grounded and geared to the issues the person brings.

Justin has long experience working across mental health, learning differences and the criminal justice system. That wider background informs how he responds to complex or long-standing problems without judgement. He also teaches counselling and runs mindfulness and meditation classes in community settings.

People working with him can expect a collaborative process that balances listening with practical steps. He encourages small, manageable changes and supports people who want to explore meaning, purpose and coping strategies during difficult transitions.

His approach combines talking therapies, mindfulness and goal-focused work. He believes people can learn new ways of relating to themselves and others, and he works to help them build routines and skills that fit their lives.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and able to explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical steps to change unhelpful cycles; it can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try techniques together. That collaborative process helps match the method to the person's needs rather than imposing a single style.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier and can reduce travel time. It also lets people continue work with the same counsellor when they move or are travelling. Shorter check-ins, mindfulness exercises and CBT homework are all practical ways to use online sessions to support change.
