About Andrew

Andrew Clarke is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger and depression. He also helps people facing life changes and the pressure they bring.

Andrew frames clients as the experts on their own lives. He looks for strengths clients already have and uses them to tackle recurring problems. Sessions aim to make strong feelings easier to understand and manage, rather than to erase them.

His way of working draws on attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused approaches to look at how relationships affect feelings. He also uses client-centred listening and psychodynamic thinking to notice recurring patterns. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want practical steps and short-term goals.

In a session Andrew will listen for what matters most to the person in front of him. He helps people name what is driving their anger, anxiety or low mood and tests small changes to reduce tension. Conversations are direct and practical, not full of jargon.

Andrew holds a degree in counselling and works as a counselling supervisor in addition to his practice. He offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and services use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and reactions. It looks at patterns that trigger anger or anxiety and helps people notice and change those patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying and working through strong emotions in the moment to reduce reactive responses and improve how people connect with others.

Client-centred practice underpins these approaches by keeping the person's experience central. The therapist and client decide together which approach or mix of approaches fits best, based on needs, goals and personal preference. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in between commitments, or sessions that avoid travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue work during life transitions while keeping the focus on managing anger, improving communication and reducing stress.
