Andrew Harris, BACP

Andrew Harris is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP in his credentials, and he brings three years of clinical experience to his work. He offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. He also focuses on loss and bereavement and helps people as they adjust to major life changes.

He describes counselling as a meeting between two people where thoughts, feelings and behaviours are talked through. Sessions are aimed at understanding what is happening now and finding ways to move forward. Andrew works with a wide range of presenting issues and adapts the pace to what each person needs.

Andrew pays close attention to the therapeutic relationship and aims to make sessions welcoming and non-judgemental. He stresses collaboration and explains things plainly so people can make choices about their care. He is open to people from majority and minority backgrounds.

Alongside core concerns like anxiety and depression, he offers support for issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, body image, blended family tensions, chronic illness and caregiver stress. He also lists areas including communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and domestic violence as topics he will address.

People who choose to work with him can expect a straightforward, conversational approach. He helps clients clarify goals and takes a practical stance on coping strategies. To begin, clients follow the site process to match with him and arrange sessions according to his availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Andrew describes his work as evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviours. One common approach is a supportive talking method that helps people make sense of loss, anxiety and low mood by discussing what matters most and identifying small, practical changes. Another common strand is problem-focused work that looks at how patterns of thought and behaviour maintain distress and then tries out different coping strategies to see what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. This means trying out ways of working and checking in to adjust the plan if something is not helpful.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find remote counselling helps fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel time and making scheduling easier. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and it may suit people who prefer not to use video on every occasion. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists like Andrew, can adapt their approach to make online sessions practical and focused on everyday concerns.
