Hi, I’m Andrew and as an integrative therapist, I offer accessible, personalised therapeutic counselling - either in my Birmingham practice space, or online from the comfort of your own home. I find many clients come into therapy describing themselves as feeling ‘stuck’. High in stress, low in mood, lacking motivation and clarity, moments in life like these can feel deeply isolating. If you are questioning your direction, struggling in an important relationship, or quietly battling a sense that something isn’t right, then therapeutic counselling may be the right next step.

My approach to counselling is grounded, empathetic, and practical. I’ll help you tune into that quiet inner voice—the one that's often drowned out by doubt or overwhelm—and work with you to strengthen it. My role is to walk with you, challenge when needed, and help you reconnect with your confidence and sense of self.

Contact is best via email or phone. I'm happy to arrange a free 15 minute chat so that we can both make sure that we are a good match for each other.

I work with client's who may be struggling with neurodiversity, low self-esteem and trauma from family, school or relationships. I will delve deep with questions so that I can understand your situation. Together, we'll work on shifting perspectives, setting realistic goals, and practicing confidence-building exercises. Most of my client's see symptoms easing within the first month of therapy.

During the first session I ask questions to help ascertain how and why you feel the way you do. I use an integrative approach which means that I may encompass elements of person centred counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help you to achieve your counselling goals. I use an empathic but also pro-active approach to helping you feel like your old self again.
