About Andrew
Andrew Clarke is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger and depression. He presents a calm, straightforward approach and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. He believes people know their own stories and brings a respectful, listening stance to each session.
Andrew encourages clients to notice their strengths and use them to move past challenges.
Background and approach
He sees taking the first step as an act of courage and aims to support that process with steady guidance. Andrew holds a degree in counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has five years of professional experience working in settings where people bring stress, mood concerns and life changes.
In sessions he combines ideas from attachment-based work and emotionally-focused approaches with client-centred and psychodynamic thinking. He also uses solution-focused techniques to help people set and reach practical goals. This mix lets him tailor sessions to the person in front of him rather than using a single fixed method.
Andrew offers short-term focused work and longer conversations depending on what someone needs. He works with common life pressures such as grief, isolation, money worries and shifts in life purpose, and helps people explore feelings like shame, guilt or anger. Sessions aim to be practical and direct while still allowing space to reflect on deeper patterns.
Andrew supports people to build clearer communication, better coping strategies and a plan they can try between meetings.

Online support
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and shifting strong emotional responses. In an online setting EFT helps people notice their feelings, name them and try new ways of responding that reduce anger, panic or withdrawal.
He also draws on client-centred ideas which place the person's experience at the heart of the work. That means sessions are paced around the client's needs, with the therapist listening deeply and reflecting back what seems most important.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will discuss different methods and test what feels most helpful. Together the client and therapist decide which mix of approaches fits the person's goals and preferences, and they adjust that plan over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use voice and body language for fuller conversations, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, written reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep continuity with appointments and to shape therapy around everyday life.
