Initially I had some resistance to exploring some of my deeper trauma, but the acceptance and validation I received from Andrew made me feel safe and comfortable enough to look at some things I’ve been avoiding my whole life. I cannot express my gratitude enough. Andrew does life changing work and has a knack at getting right to the root of the problem and working together to reframe and find solutions.

More about Andrew
- 8 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
My name is Andrew and I am a firm believer that every individual is capable of taking positive steps in their lives and careers; however, this may not always be an easy task to undertake. Navigating a unique journey, encountering fears, worries, and complexities is challenging to do alone. At times, we all need a helping hand.
As a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor it is my privilege to support others in navigating and overcoming these challenges. Whether individuals are seeking a safe space to share their thoughts, wanting to understand what is going on for them, aiming to make active changes to their immediate situation, or maintaining progress toward overarching goals, I am committed to providing tailored guidance.
What can I help you with?
I assist individuals experiencing a wide range of challenges, including processing trauma, anxiety management, low self-esteem, anger management difficulties and recovery from addiction. However, my focus goes beyond labels; I strive to understand and support the individual as a whole. I would be happy to speak with you directly to discuss how we can work together to address your specific circumstances.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very understanding
Excellent so far … only had a couple of sessions !
Andrew has helped me deal with a very difficult period in my life. His advice gave me the ability to overcome the issues and coping strategies that prevented me from falling further when the situation worsened.
Andrew is a really attentive therapists. I was very reluctant at first but he soon put me at ease.
Very understanding and committed to listening to my problems was a good experience
Andrew, has a great way of allowing you to self reflect and understand the root of your thoughts. Knowing when to push and pull in a therapy setting is tricky and he is masterful at this.
He's kept in touch throughout the months while I was not actively a member and that shows concern and care. He's the kind of help I need. Thank you.
Andrew is a counsellor who clearly enjoys his job and helping people. During our sessions he has been professional, thoughtful and caring. He also provides good practical solutions whilst also explaining the theoretical background. Highly recommended and I look forward to working further with Andrew.
Andrew is really helping me grow, personally and professionally. I’d tried several therapists over time and haven’t found anyone click as well as Andrew. I would absolutely recommend him to others. It’s like talking to a super wise older brother.
Intuitive and educated but doesn’t speak down to me. I’ve been seeing countless therapist, Dr.’s, APRN’s, and so many more, since my breakdown in Y2K, and in two sessions and messages, we’ve accomplished more than the preceding 23-years. More than highly recommended.
Andrew is a really great therapist, fantastic listener, very kind, always keeps his patients needs in mind and goes the extra mile.
Really recommend. Great guy, very easy to talk to, very understanding, overall amazing

Andrew is just one of the BEST therapists on Betterhelp. He's empathic, instinctive, kind and wise. I couldn't wish for a better therapist to assist me on my healing journey. He truly is a gift.
Andrew has been an extremely effective and understanding counsellor and I feel he has a good handle on my issues and situation and has enabled me to start some difficult processes of change in my life. He has helped me through a very challenging time and I would recommend him to others without reservations. I have really enjoyed our sessions so far over the last four months and I feel I have grown as a person.
Excellent therapist. Quickly made me feel at ease.
Our conversations were constructive and validating, helping me to find the ways I wanted to think in an honest and safe environment. Everything I was hoping to get out of therapy.
I have been to plenty of therapists and none of them have listened to me quite like Andrew has. I finally don't dread therapy and actually look forward to getting the help I need
Andrew is a great listener, is compassionate and has a terrific way of absorbing information to find answers and solutions. Andrew has given me answers to questions I nevere knew the answers too. He is charming, smart and extremely intelligent. Would highly recommend him. I'd even grab a beer with him he is THAT cool and kind.
