About Andrew
Andrew Wood is a counsellor and psychotherapist with a BACP accreditation and seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with adults on issues such as relationship problems, grief, career change, stress, anxiety, addictions and anger. He also helps people with sleep, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, bipolar issues and ADHD.
Andrew uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. Sessions are conversational and practical. He aims to help people talk through what is happening, identify patterns, and try different ways of responding to everyday pressures.
His background includes an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy and Relate's Certificate in Relational Counselling. He is a Registered and Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an Accredited Member of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists. He is also a member of the International Coaching Federation and a qualified clinical supervisor.
Andrew has worked in a range of services including Mind, Relate, the Dove Service and two NHS trusts. He has also held management roles in talking therapies, employee assistance programmes and mental health services. That mix of clinical and service experience informs how he organises sessions and sets practical goals.
In sessions he combines client-centred listening with solution-focused tools and systemic ideas about relationships. The overall approach is straightforward: clarify the issue, try manageable steps, and review what helps. People who want concrete strategies for anger, communication or work-related stress may find this style useful.
How sessions work
How his approaches shape online practice
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's own goals. It helps when someone needs a calm space to sort out feelings and decide on small next steps.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical changes that make a difference quickly. It suits people who want short-term strategies for issues like anger, workplace stress or coping with life changes.
Systemic Therapy pays attention to relationships and patterns between people. It can help when anger or communication problems happen around partners, colleagues or family roles and routines.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so sessions are easier to keep. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt these arrangements to fit practical needs without promising a specific outcome.
