About Justin
Justin Andrews is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression and major life changes. He also helps with relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy worries, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career concerns. He works with people dealing with ADHD and has additional focus on autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer, chronic illness and pain, and veteran and armed forces issues.
Justin brings 14 years of counselling experience alongside a long career in social care. He has worked with mental health services, learning disability and neurodiversity teams, criminal justice settings and young people. That background informs a practical, down-to-earth approach to difficult problems.
In sessions he uses Client-Centred Therapy to put the person’s viewpoint first. He also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused tools. Conversations aim to be straightforward, listening-led and tailored to what each person needs right now.
Outside direct counselling he teaches counselling skills and leads meditation and mindfulness work in a nearby prison. He also maintains a personal practice of meditation and study in Buddhist-informed mindfulness, which shapes how he helps people notice and respond to thoughts and feelings.

How his approaches work online and what to expect
Justin combines Client-Centred Therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused ideas. Client-Centred Therapy means sessions start by listening closely to what matters to the person and building understanding from their viewpoint. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offer clear strategies to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused ideas focus on identifying and naming emotions to improve how people relate to themselves and others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will test what feels most helpful. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as issues change over time.
If you are considering online work, please confirm available session formats before booking because this profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and help people access support who live far from services. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and CBT tools to work well through remote sessions.
