Justin Andrews

Justin Andrews helps people facing separation, relationship strain and other life changes. He also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and addictive behaviours. He writes plainly and listens carefully so people can make steady changes at their own pace.

He has 14 years as a counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Before focusing on counselling he spent many years in social care roles across mental health, learning disabilities and criminal justice. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.

Justin uses a mix of approaches depending on the person’s needs. He draws on client-centred listening to build trust, and uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking. He also brings mindfulness and solution-focused tools to help with everyday coping and calm.

Sessions aim to be simple and useful. Conversations include short exercises, steady reflection and, when helpful, breathing or mindfulness practices. The emphasis is on small, repeatable steps that fit into busy lives rather than complex or lengthy programmes.

He also teaches counselling and runs mindfulness classes, including work in a local prison. That teaching informs his practice and keeps his approach practical and grounded. If you need support through divorce and separation, or other major life changes, Justin offers steady, practical support to help you find a way forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Justin blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques to help people untangle patterns of thinking and cope better day to day. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s experience and building trust, which can help with grief, anxiety and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies for mood, stress and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what matters most to the client and agree together which methods to use. This is a collaborative process that adapts as needs and goals change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain continuity of support while juggling work, family or treatment commitments.
