About Andrew
BACP. Five years of professional counselling experience. Andrew Clarke helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious or depressed. He also supports those dealing with relationship issues, anger and coping with life changes.
Andrew works from a belief that people know their own stories and bring strengths to the counselling space. He uses that understanding to help clients talk through painful feelings and make practical adjustments. Sessions focus on clear steps and on noticing patterns that keep problems repeating.
His approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, emotionally-focused techniques and psychodynamic thinking. He also uses solution-focused work to help people move from a stuck place toward manageable goals. These methods are used to address mood difficulties, panic, communication problems and struggles around trust and abandonment.
Andrew has a degree in counselling and is a counselling supervisor as well as holding BACP membership. He works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. International clients are not accepted at this time.
Practical topics he often covers include money and financial stress, caregiver strain, body image, guilt and shame, and managing impulsivity. He aims to help people understand how past experiences shape current reactions and to develop ways to cope with everyday pressures.

Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Andrew often blends attachment-based therapy with client-centred and emotionally-focused work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people understand why they react in certain ways. Client-centred counselling emphasises listening and the person’s own goals, allowing the client to lead the conversation and find personal meaning. Emotionally-focused therapy focuses on strong feelings in relationships and helps people identify and name those emotions to change interaction patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the issues, goals and preferences you bring. Sessions may mix approaches as needs change and as practical goals emerge.
The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so please confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed and offer options that do not require being on camera for the full session. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly use remote sessions to keep therapy practical and usable within everyday life.
