Andrew Clarke , BACP

Andrew Clarke is a BACP-accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, anger, depression, and the challenges of coping with life changes, bringing a steady and empathetic presence to each session.

He also supports individuals dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, body image concerns, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, financial worries, mood disorders, and panic attacks. His practice emphasizes practical support for everyday struggles as well as deeper emotional work when it is needed.

Holding a degree in counselling and working as a counselling supervisor, he combines formal training with hands-on experience to guide people through change. He describes his approach as collaborative and strengths-based, holding the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources that can aid recovery and growth. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can be daunting, and he aims to offer steady support as people work toward clearer understanding and meaningful progress.

Applying therapeutic approaches to online sessions

Andrew draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early and close relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses, which can help with issues like abandonment, trust, and intimacy. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where people can lead the conversation and build self-understanding and self-direction at their own pace. He also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques when working on relationship dynamics, helping partners or individuals identify and shift interaction patterns to foster stronger emotional connection and regulation.

Finding the right fit is part of the therapeutic process, and Andrew approaches this collaboratively. He will work with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as understanding deepens.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from home or wherever is convenient, while allowing Andrew to apply the same therapeutic approaches used in face-to-face work to help clients make steady progress.
