About Andrew
Andrew Wood is a BACP counsellor who helps adults tackle issues like relationship strain, anxiety, stress and money and financial issues. He supports people facing bereavement, career uncertainty, addictions and changes that come with illness or ageing. Sessions are offered in English and aim to be straightforward and practical.
He adopts an integrative style that draws on different methods to match each person. That means sessions focus on what matters now and on simple steps people can try between meetings. Andrew also offers coaching-style support for people who want clearer goals and action plans.
Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk about thoughts and feelings. Conversation often looks at patterns in relationships, at home and at work. Andrew listens first and then suggests ways to test small changes that might ease stress or improve communication.
Andrew trained to MSc level in Counselling and Psychotherapy and holds Relate's Certificate in Relational Counselling. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. He also belongs to the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists and the International Coaching Federation.
Before private practice he worked with Mind, Relate, the Dove Service and two NHS trusts. He has led therapy services in several management roles, including clinical director and mental health lead. That background informs how he supports people juggling work, health and family pressures.
He has seven years' experience working with adults on issues such as depression, bipolar, ADHD, parenting strain, grief and workplace stress. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How Andrew’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what the person most wants to talk about, which helps with issues like low self-esteem, anxiety and relationship concerns.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small changes. It looks at what works, sets clear goals and tests simple actions between sessions, which can be useful for stress, career decisions and coping with life changes.
Systemic Therapy examines how relationships and wider patterns affect a person. It can help people see interaction styles that sustain problems and suggest different ways to communicate or act.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together with the client decide which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can be reviewed as things change.
Session logistics should fit everyday life. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caring duties, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals and therapists may offer different formats, and Andrew will help choose the format that best fits each person's routine and aims.
