About Andrew
Andrew Westcott is a person-centred counsellor who works from a calm, accepting stance. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He focuses on helping people make sense of loss, stress and difficult life changes.
He has 11 years of experience supporting people through bereavement, grief and trauma-related concerns. Sessions are guided by the pace the person chooses, with the counsellor offering steady presence rather than leading with questions. This approach aims to help people uncover their own answers over time.
Andrew also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. Other areas he attends to include compassion fatigue, anger, abandonment concerns and attachment issues. He also works with people facing caregiver stress, fatherhood issues and ageing and geriatric concerns.
Conversations can cover practical problems such as communication, control issues, hoarding and infidelity, as well as emotional themes like guilt, shame, emptiness and dissociation. The counsellor describes the process as sometimes painful but ultimately about gradual discovery and increased coping.
Sessions are person-led and aim to give people space to speak and reflect. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is used to link someone up and arrange sessions according to availability.
Client-centred care and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving people a supportive, non-directive space. The counsellor listens with acceptance and follows the person’s lead, helping them name feelings and make decisions that matter to them. This approach can be helpful for grief, loss, anxiety and relationship-related worries.The process is collaborative. The counsellor will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust the way sessions run to match needs and goals. Together they work out how best to explore concerns and build coping strategies that fit everyday life.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when useful. Some people find phone sessions useful when video is difficult, while others prefer a full conversation on camera; the counsellor will help identify what suits each person best.
