About John

John Day is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. He approaches conversations with respect, sensitivity and compassion. He aims to meet people where they are and help them take practical steps toward change.

With five years of professional experience and HCPC registration, he adapts sessions to each person's needs. He uses a client-centred stance that keeps the person's goals in focus. This means listening first, then shaping the work around what matters to the individual.

John also draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when these fit a person's concerns. He uses Attachment-Based and Existential ideas to make sense of relationship difficulties and life purpose questions. He mixes tools and conversation so sessions feel practical rather than purely theoretical.

Common issues he supports include trauma and abuse, grief, anger and intimacy-related concerns. He also works with themes like abandonment, isolation and communication problems. People come with a wide range of life changes, including divorce, midlife questions and struggles with mood.

His style is straightforward and warm. He encourages people to try small changes and to notice what helps. If you want to explore next steps, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experience, offering a space to be heard without judgment and to set your own goals. It can help when you feel stuck, unsure or overwhelmed by life's demands.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) works on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that matches your values. This can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.

Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns and expectations. This perspective can be helpful for intimacy issues, communication problems and relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with you to decide which methods suit your goals and preferences, and to adjust the plan as you learn what helps. Collaboration guides whether more conversational or more skills-based work feels best.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer delays from travel. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions allow steadier progress by making it simpler to keep regular appointments and to try strategies between meetings.
