Andy Green, BACP

Andy Green trained as a counsellor after a 20-year career supporting people from many backgrounds. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Andy aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and approachable for anyone feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

He provides a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space where people can be heard. Sessions look at what is happening now and how past experiences shape current patterns. The work is intended to help people gain clearer insight into their thoughts and feelings and to begin making changes that matter to them.

Andy draws most clearly on client-centred and psychodynamic ways of working, while staying flexible to what each person needs. That means sessions are guided by the person in front of him, with attention to emotions, relationships and personal history where useful.

Before training in counselling he spent two decades in roles that involved supporting people with anxiety, depression, substance use, behaviour change and emotional regulation. He continues to update his skills through training and regular supervision as part of his BACP registration.

He offers both short and long-term counselling and psychotherapy for adults and young people. People commonly bring concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem and depression, among other issues Andy lists as areas of focus.

How Andy's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and offering empathy. It helps people who need a space to speak without judgement and to find their own solutions through reflection and support.

Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to past experiences and patterns that show up in current life. It can be useful for people wanting to understand recurring relationship issues, attachment patterns or deeper emotional themes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andy aims to decide together which way of working feels most helpful based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change during therapy as new issues emerge.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing sessions during a break at work, or offering a shorter check-in when energy is low. It can also allow people to choose quieter surroundings at the time that suit them. Registered or accredited professionals can use online options to continue core therapeutic work in ways that match everyday routines.
