About John
John Goodrick is a Therapeutic Counsellor in England with 10 years of experience. He is registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). He helps people who are feeling stuck by working on stress, anxiety, depression, anger and motivation, and he also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns and life purpose questions.
John uses straightforward language in sessions. He aims to be approachable and avoids being patronising. He draws on a decade working in mental health settings and on formal study, including a Diploma in therapeutic counselling, a BSc Hons in Sociology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Careers Guidance.
In practical work he focuses on clear, conversational ways to understand current problems and build small steps forward. Sessions often look at coping skills for panic and mood swings, habits around eating and sleeping, and ways to manage difficult feelings like shame or guilt. He also helps people think through career choices and wider life purpose questions.
People meet a counsellor who explains ideas plainly and helps set realistic, manageable goals. John gives time to talk through how emotions, behaviour and social factors interact. He supports clients who want to improve communication, reduce isolation, or address addictive patterns.
He works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session through the service's online booking tools. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviour. One common approach is cognitive-style work that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop clearer, more helpful ways of thinking. This can be useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Another frequent method is problem-solving and practical skills work, which helps people set small steps, build coping strategies and change habits around sleep, eating or substance use.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to try different methods and choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust pace and focus over time.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to see a registered or accredited professional from another area, which helps when someone wants a particular counselling style or experience not available locally.
