About Andrew
Andrew Armstrong is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused methods to help people manage difficult emotions. He draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to work through anxiety, depression and grief. He speaks English and is based in the United Kingdom.
Andrew believes people know themselves best and that therapy is a collaborative effort. He supports clients to notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes and build skills that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded in things clients can use between meetings. In his practice he offers a mix of structured and exploratory work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, while Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and small steps toward a meaningful life.
He also draws on attachment ideas when relationship or family patterns are getting in the way. With four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - Andrew brings a steady, respectful presence to sessions. He is comfortable addressing issues such as self-esteem, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, anger and coping with life changes.
People who come to him can expect a calm, down-to-earth style. He helps clients set clear goals, practice new responses and track progress. The approach is practical, paced to the individual and focused on what matters most to the person in front of him.

Online support
He also brings attachment-informed ideas into conversations about relationships and family patterns. These ideas help identify repeating dynamics and explore new ways of relating that reduce conflict and increase connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences with each client and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs shift during therapy.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video helps with face-to-face conversation and reading body language, phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins and written reflection. These options give flexibility so people can choose what fits their routine and communication style.
