About Justin
Justin Andrews is a BACP counsellor with 14 years in therapeutic practice. He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or depressed, and those facing grief, relationship strain, addiction or life changes. He also supports people dealing with sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem and ADHD. Justin aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so people can get help for the issues that feel most urgent.
He has a long background in social care that includes mental health, learning differences, criminal justice and work with young people. That wider experience informs how he listens and responds to complex situations. He draws on mindfulness and meditation as part of the work, practices he has followed since his teens and continues to teach.
Justin uses a mix of approaches to fit what each person needs. He blends Client-Centred methods with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused and Solution-Focused ideas, plus mindfulness practices. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps, noticing thoughts and feelings, and building new ways of coping.
He also teaches counselling and runs meditation sessions in a local prison, which he finds keeps his practice connected to real-world challenges. Those teaching roles influence his clear, down-to-earth style in therapy.
Justin works in the United Kingdom and offers support in English. He encourages people to take the first step even when they feel uncertain, and to choose simple, manageable goals to work towards in therapy.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and working at the client's pace. In an online setting this means the counsellor aims to create a calm space where people are heard and their goals are central. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT often involves short, focused tasks between sessions and clear strategies to try in daily life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve coping; these exercises can be guided during a session and practised afterwards.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
The original biography does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote work to help people keep momentum between sessions and apply new skills in everyday situations.
