Welcome to my Betterhelp profile!
My name is Andrew, and I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals grow and thrive. My personal therapeutic philosophy is based on the belief that every client possesses unique strengths and experiences that shape their journey. I believe that the most important aspect of therapy is creating a safe and supportive space where clients can be seen, heard, and accepted for who they are.
I strongly believe that growth is a collaborative process, and I work closely with my clients to help them identify their goals and develop a plan for achieving them. My approach is grounded in empathy and compassion, and I strive to build a genuine connection with each of my clients. I am here to support you, challenge you, and help you find the strength and resilience to navigate life's challenges.
I understand that every client's journey is different, and I tailor my approach to meet the specific needs and goals of each person I work with. I believe that therapy is most effective when clients feel empowered to take an active role in their healing process. That's why I use a variety of techniques, including psycho-education and mindfulness practices, to help clients develop the skills they need to cope with difficult emotions and build resilience.
As we work together, I will encourage you to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment, and I will help you develop greater self-awareness and insight. My ultimate goal is to shift your focus from your struggles to what you can do, and to support you as you grow and thrive.
Thank you for considering me as your therapist. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you on your journey.
Warmest Regards,
Andrew

Andrew, has a great way of allowing you to self reflect and understand the root of your thoughts. Knowing when to push and pull in a therapy setting is tricky and he is masterful at this.

He's kept in touch throughout the months while I was not actively a member and that shows concern and care. He's the kind of help I need. Thank you.

Andrew is a counsellor who clearly enjoys his job and helping people. During our sessions he has been professional, thoughtful and caring. He also provides good practical solutions whilst also explaining the theoretical background. Highly recommended and I look forward to working further with Andrew.

Andrew is really helping me grow, personally and professionally. I’d tried several therapists over time and haven’t found anyone click as well as Andrew. I would absolutely recommend him to others. It’s like talking to a super wise older brother.
