John Day

John Day is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and relationship difficulties. He works with issues such as depression, grief, anger and the strain of life changes. He aims to offer calm, respectful support while clients take the first steps toward change.

He uses a mix of practical talking therapies tailored to each person. John draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and commit to valued action. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Attachment-based ideas inform his focus on how early relationships shape current patterns.

Sessions are framed around what a client wants to achieve. Discussions and exercises are adapted to each person’s pace and needs. He aims for straightforward language and practical next steps rather than jargon or lengthy theory talks.

John is registered with the HCPC, which is noted as his professional credential. He has around five years of experience working in counselling and psychotherapy settings. He welcomes people who are dealing with issues such as addiction, intimacy-related concerns, autistic traits, and divorce and separation questions.

If someone is thinking of starting, John encourages a simple first step: a short questionnaire and then an arranged appointment. That initial contact is used to clarify goals and plan a way forward that fits day-to-day life.

How these approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can act in line with what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where someone wants clearer direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It often involves short exercises and practical steps that can be done between sessions to reduce worry or change routines.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current ways of connecting and reacting. It can help people understand intimacy issues, communication problems, and patterns that repeat in adult relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit those aims. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques are used and how sessions are organised.

If you are considering online work, confirm which session formats are available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports consistent contact across locations for people living or travelling abroad.
