About Andrew
Andrew Watson is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with adults on issues including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and anger. He also supports people dealing with relationships, parenting pressures and life changes.
He uses Person-Centred (Client-Centred) ways of working, alongside mindfulness techniques. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels. He looks at how habits and triggers keep problems repeating and helps people try different responses.
When addiction is part of the picture he talks through habitual behaviour and the situations that lead to it. Conversations aim to help people make informed choices about next steps. The tone is down-to-earth and focused on what can be done day to day.
He pays attention to relationship patterns such as attachment and codependency, and to feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness or jealousy. Practical tools and mindfulness exercises are offered to manage strong emotions and reduce reactive behaviour.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and conversational. The emphasis is on listening, exploring options and rehearsing new responses to difficult moments. Clients who want clear, practical support for anger, stress or addictive patterns often find this approach useful.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping the client set the agenda. It is useful when someone needs space to talk through feelings like anger, grief or shame and to work out their own solutions.Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention exercises and learning to notice thoughts and bodily signs. It can help reduce reactivity, manage anxiety and interrupt habitual responses such as snapping or substance use urges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore your goals and preferences and agree on techniques to try. That means adjusting pace, choosing when to practise mindfulness and reviewing what helps in day-to-day life.
