Andrew Clarke, BACP

Andrew Clarke is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger and depression. He also helps people manage life changes and the practical fallout they bring. He writes plainly and focuses on practical steps to make daily life more manageable.

He believes clients are the experts in their own stories and brings a collaborative style to sessions. That means listening first, then looking for small steps that build on existing strengths. This approach aims to make therapy feel useful from the start rather than only theoretical.

Andrew trained in counselling and holds BACP accreditation, and he has around five years of professional experience. He also works as a counselling supervisor, supporting other practitioners in their development. His background combines direct client work with reflective practice for therapists.

In session he draws on a mix of approaches, including attachment-based ideas, emotionally focused work and solution-focused techniques. These help with understanding relationship patterns, managing strong emotions, and setting achievable goals. He adapts methods to what each person needs rather than following one fixed method.

Sessions are conducted in English and he does not take international clients. Before booking, prospective clients should confirm current session options and formats. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Andrew’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people see why they react strongly in close relationships and offers ways to try new responses. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's experience and priorities, giving space to be heard and to build confidence in decisions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and interactions to help people name feelings and change unhelpful cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit their situation. The choice is collaborative, and adjustments are made as understanding deepens over a few sessions.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. They also let people continue work while managing day-to-day responsibilities without needing to be away from home for long periods. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often find online work helps maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
