About Justin
Justin Andrews is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of counselling experience. He works with people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and major life changes. He also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and parenting difficulties, anger, self‑esteem and career questions. Life purpose is listed among his areas of focus.
He draws on many years of wider social care work, including mental health, learning disabilities and criminal justice. That background informs how he talks through complex issues with people who have had difficult experiences. He has experience supporting people with autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, and cancer related concerns.
Justin uses approaches that include Client‑Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally‑Focused Therapy, mindfulness and Solution‑Focused Therapy. In practice he tends to use straightforward conversational work alongside practical exercises and mindfulness techniques. Sessions often focus on clearer thinking, managing unhelpful patterns, and steps that make day‑to‑day life easier.
He has taught counselling and led mindfulness and meditation groups, including work in a local prison setting. That teaching experience informs his practical way of working and his interest in meditation as a tool for managing stress. He continues personal practice in meditation and Buddhist‑influenced mindfulness.
People who come to him are usually looking for a calm, direct approach to find what matters next. To begin, the site asks visitors to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Justin uses therapeutic approaches online
Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what matters to them, which can be useful for questions about life purpose or major transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase focus. Those exercises can be used alongside conversational work to manage strong emotions or recurring worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and day‑to‑day needs. Together they will try methods that make sense and adjust them over time if needed.
Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, reduce travel and allow a quieter check‑in when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer options that suit different schedules and practical needs.
