About Andrew
Andrew Westcott is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people lead the conversation and explore what matters most to them. Sessions are paced to the individual so each person can go at a speed that feels manageable.
Andrew has 11 years of experience supporting people through bereavement and loss. He also works with stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties, and with issues such as trauma, grief and self-esteem. He listens for what is getting in the way of daily life and helps people untangle those patterns.
His approach focuses on understanding the person rather than fixing symptoms. Instead of asking direct questions, he reflects and echoes what he hears to help people find their own answers. This way often helps when feelings are confusing or hard to name.
Andrew also supports people facing life changes, compassion fatigue, anger and issues around attachment and abandonment. He aims to be alongside clients during difficult moments while they work out what they need next.
Sessions take place within the United Kingdom and are carried out in English. Before booking, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How a person-centred approach translates to online therapy
Andrew uses person-centred counselling which focuses on listening without judgement and reflecting back what the client brings. This approach helps when people are working through grief, anxiety or feelings that are hard to name because it encourages self-discovery rather than giving direct advice.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide the best way forward. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people stay consistent with sessions during life changes. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can discuss practical arrangements and help choose the format that suits everyday routines and therapy goals.
