Hello and a very warm welcome. I am Andrew, an integrative counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I recognise that therapy requires a lot of trust, and I believe people need to feel safe before they can fully embrace openness. In my eyes, it is a trusting relationship that allows people to turn their personal experiences into shared ones, which is how a lot of growth and healing takes place.
As an Integrative counsellor, I am guided by a variety of therapeutic approaches, and sessions with me can range from talking therapy, to working with embodiment and breathing, or even creative expression such as drawing or poetry. I am also relationally orientated, and view counselling as a shared venture grounded in consent, collaboration, and intention. Working together to reach your goals is of the upmost importance to me!
I entered the counselling profession in 2015 and have been blessed to have worked with a very diverse client group. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, and I stay committed to considering how sameness and difference may be influencing the counselling relationship. I approach all societal issues with openness and curiosity, and believe that every person has a right to be who they are without prejudice.
