About Andrew
Andrew Wood is a counsellor with seven years' experience supporting adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties. He also helps people facing grief, career change, addiction issues and parenting strain. He works in a straightforward, calm way so people can talk about what matters to them and begin to make clearer choices.
Clients can expect a practical, conversational style. He listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often look at day-to-day routines, communication patterns and coping strategies that can be tried between meetings. Andrew uses a blend of approaches chosen to match each person's needs. He draws on client-centred ways of working to follow what the person brings, and solution-focused ideas to build on strengths and reach concrete steps.
He also considers relational patterns when problems link to family or partnership issues. His background includes a Master of Science in Counselling and Psychotherapy and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has worked in NHS services and with charities and workplace programmes, which has given him experience with both personal and work-related problems.
Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone, live chat or messaging. The process starts with a short questionnaire to match needs, then scheduling that fits your availability. Fees vary with location and the subscription model used.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps and what already works. Sessions identify small, doable changes and build on strengths to move problems like stress, anxiety and relationship friction forward in a short time frame.
Systemic Therapy examines patterns between people and how those patterns affect wellbeing. It can be useful when issues link to family dynamics, partnership difficulties or repeated communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the client’s goals and preferences in a collaborative way. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions relevant and focused.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let you see facial expressions and body language, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a short break, while live chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to arrange regular contact and keep therapy consistent around everyday commitments.
