Justin Andrews
About me
Thank you for taking the time to look at my page.
I am a very experienced BACP registered UK Counsellor, and also have over 35 years experience of working in diverse areas of Social Care including Mental health, Learning disabilities/neurodiversity, criminal justice, and young people. I have experience in helping clients with complex mental health issues, as well as stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, depression and many other issues that naturally arise in the course of life as we meet its many challenges.
As well as working mainstream as a counsellor, I also enjoy teaching counselling, as well as continuing to teach meditation and buddhism/mindfulness in the prison nearby. I am engaged in my own practice of personal development and mediation which I have pursued since I was a teenager. I think that we all have the ability to learn about ourselves, to grow and to change in the face of all the great difficulties that life throws at us to live an enjoyable and meaningful life.

Justin has been a great therapist. He is a phenomenal listener and makes unique points which help me to see things differently. I would really recommend him if you are looking for a worldly individual who is able to help you zoom out!

From the first session I felt he understood me and could help and ongoing support in between sessions little check ins make you feel valued,
Aswell as other work to help me navigate what I’ve unpacked
