Andrew Armstrong , BACP

Andrew Armstrong is a UK-credentialed therapist with four years of professional experience, holding membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has supported people facing relationship difficulties, grief, depression, thoughts that life is not worth living, low self-esteem, anxiety, and a range of other challenges. Andrew works from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and has the capacity to shape it; his role is to offer practical support and facilitation within the scope of his practice.

He draws on established therapeutic approaches to help clients explore feelings, patterns, and choices, and to build coping strategies that fit individual circumstances. His background includes helping clients navigate family and parenting concerns, communication and attachment issues, and the emotional fallout of separation or loss. Andrew aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where difficult topics can be named and worked through at a pace that suits the client.

Throughout his work he emphasizes collaboration - listening carefully to what matters to each person and tailoring sessions to their needs and goals. Andrew uses his training and experience to support people through transitions and relational challenges, helping them gain clarity and practical steps toward more manageable day-to-day living.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Andrew often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and how these affect current connections, which can be helpful for attachment issues, relationship struggles, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may also be used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that contribute to anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Andrew works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors the work together with clients, adjusting techniques as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver focused, goal-oriented support across a wide range of concerns.
