About John

John Lennox is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. He works with adults on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, addictions, career strain and anger. He also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related issues and with parenting and family-related stress.

He uses a mix of straightforward talking and evidence-informed techniques in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding how past experiences shape current reactions.

John describes his style as client-centred, aiming to build clear rapport and a constructive working relationship. He listens to what matters most to the client and helps set achievable goals. Work might include learning ways to manage strong feelings, changing unhelpful thinking, and developing more flexible behaviour.

Over his career he has worked with people facing bereavement, PTSD and ongoing stress from work or life changes. He also addresses concerns around body image, control issues, codependency and sexual subcultures such as BDSM and kink when these are relevant to a person’s wellbeing.

Sessions are offered in English and John accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and picking actions that match personal values. It can help when anger feels automatic or when someone wants a different way to respond in stressful moments. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for workplace frustration, worry and anger that follows negative thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional responses and can help when anger ties back to fears of abandonment or connection issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and test what helps most, adapting methods to the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where practical tasks and reflection both play a role.

The original biography does not list explicit session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to keep continuity of care and help clients apply techniques in everyday settings.
