About Andrew
Andrew Leighton works from a person-centred stance that keeps the relationship central. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people feel heard. Sessions are led by the client with gentle guidance to help make sense of difficult patterns.
Andrew draws on a blend of approaches to match individual needs rather than a single formula. He helps people untangle life stories, spot limiting beliefs and notice patterns that keep them stuck. This practical focus is useful for worries such as anxiety, stress and low mood.
He has four years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background includes work with addictions, bereavement, relationship difficulties and body image concerns. Andrew also supports people coping with change, grief and career questions.
In sessions he uses tools from acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioural ideas alongside attachment-informed thinking and mindfulness. The mix is tailored to each person so sessions remain relevant and manageable. Andrew also offers coaching-style conversations when people want a clearer action plan.
People bring many issues such as parenting strain, sleep problems, eating concerns, or feelings of emptiness. Andrew will work with the exact problem you bring, naming small steps and practical tasks where helpful.

Using ACT, attachment ideas and mindfulness in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to valued action, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Attachment‑based ideas look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can help with intimacy, trust and abandonment worries. Mindfulness practice teaches simple ways to steady attention and ease distress in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will collaborate with you to decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences and may combine techniques over time to keep sessions relevant and practical.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight.
