About Andy

Andy Green is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people making sense of stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. He presents a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to create a space where clients can be heard and begin to feel more in control.

He uses an integrative approach, adapting methods to each person rather than following a fixed formula. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past experiences shape current thinking and feeling. Andy works with issues such as grief, self-esteem, depression and challenges linked to substance use and loss.

Before training as a counsellor he spent 20 years working with people from many backgrounds. That experience included supporting behaviour change, emotional regulation and helping people notice patterns in their thoughts and feelings. He brings that practical background into the therapy room.

Andy follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy guidelines as a member of the BACP. He takes part in ongoing professional development and regular supervision. He also holds a clear enhanced Criminal Records Bureau check.

He offers both short and longer-term counselling for adults and young people. Typical areas he addresses include anxiety, depression, communication problems, grief, body image and difficulties linked to chronic illness or caregiving. If money or financial worries are part of what’s causing stress, he can help you talk through those pressures as well.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what he hears and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, stress and communication difficulties.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. It can help with recurring relationship patterns, attachment concerns and long-standing emotional difficulties by bringing those patterns into awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Andy works collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as needs and goals become clearer. He encourages clients to feedback on what helps and what does not so the work stays relevant.

The therapist's profile does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers the option to choose quieter surroundings, turn off the camera or use less bandwidth depending on what suits the person.
