About Andrew
Andrew Westcott is a person-centred counsellor with eleven years' experience. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works in the United Kingdom and offers help for people dealing with depression, grief and related concerns.
He creates a calm, accepting space where the person sets the pace. Sessions are led by the client's priorities while he stays alongside to listen and reflect. He avoids a question-led style and focuses on understanding what matters to the client.
Background and approach
Much of his work has involved bereavement and loss, so he is familiar with the ups and downs that follow major life changes. He also supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, anger, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Andrew uses person-centred principles to help people make sense of their feelings.
That means paying attention to emotions, thoughts and values so people can find their own answers. He aims to make the therapy room a place for honest, gradual exploration rather than rushed solutions. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
He works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to his availability.

Approaches Andrew lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Person-centred principles encourage self-discovery rather than giving advice or asking many questions. That way of working can help people who feel stuck after loss, who are coping with stress, or who want to rebuild confidence. The therapist and client decide together which ways of working feel most useful as the relationship develops.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good when you want face-to-face contact and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in fits better with a busy day. Live chat and text messages suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer to express themselves in writing. All formats aim to make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities and everyday life.
